We are
a national charity promoting non-coercive approaches in education and social care. We call this approach the relational approach because it focuses on relationships not behaviour. We run an independent special school which children attend voluntarily and  a fostering service.  The relational approach is based on years of action research and collaboration in the UK, Europe, New Zealand,Canada and the USA. The same principles, applied at community level, have led to the development of managed moves and the learning communities for inclusion movement.

Education and Fostering Services within a seamless community We offer a comprehensive range of services including formal and informal learning and social care to support the development of young people with special needs and their families who may also have been excluded from other schools, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and kindness in Inaura's own school, and offer foster care with exceptional families who are at the heart of our learning community.

Our school Inaura provides a safe, stable and caring environment allowing children who have had a negative experience of school to take responsibility for transforming their lives in a positive manner.  Staff, trained to be consistently kind, maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect rather than confrontation, in which students grow self-awareness, begin to understand the need for skills and knowledge and have the opportunity to leave school with a realistic plan for the future.
