The national charity promoting inclusive approaches

Our relational approach focuses on relationships not behaviour.  It is a comprehensive approach based on proven research in the UK, Europe, New Zealand,Canada and the USA. It also has a track record of success with children for whom everything else failed.  Inaura has researched and promoted the use of managed moves and a community level model for inclusion, now being promoted by the Department for Education.

What do we offer? 

• We research and promote best practice and strategic approaches in education
• We provide training at our centre near the City of Wells, Somerset
• Children attend our independent special school in Somerset on  a voluntary basis
