About Access and Inclusion Model (AIM)
The purpose of the Inclusion Charter is to demonstrate the sector’s commitment to inclusion. Service providers are asked to sign up to the Charter by completing an inclusion policy for their setting. For reference purposes, an Inclusion Policy template is contained within the Guidelines.
