We are delighted to welcome on board IncludED Education Solutions to our Business Networking Club, Monkey Business.

At the heart of IncludEd lies passion and dedication to address the needs of children and adults navigating the world of education.

Through our lived experience and expertise, they have created a safe environment where individuals can overcome challenges and build the skills, resilience, and confidence needed for success.

Emily Carr, Co-director of IncludED, said, “At IncludEd, we believe that strong community links are at the heart of truly inclusive education.

“Schools don’t exist in isolation – they thrive when families, local services, businesses and wider community networks work together to support young people.

“That’s why we are passionate about building meaningful partnerships beyond the classroom, creating opportunities for pupils to connect with their local area, develop a sense of belonging, and access the wider support they need to succeed.

“We currently offer unregistered non-school alternative provision for primary and secondary aged children in Hartlepool and beyond, supporting those who are struggling within mainstream education.

“Alongside this, we also provide training and consultancy for educational professionals, and we are currently in the process of opening a registered school to further strengthen our offer.

“This is exactly why we wanted to become part of the Monkey Business Network.

“We are keen to meet and work alongside local businesses that share our values and want to make a difference in the community.

“We want to give our children opportunities to feel proud of their town, their heritage and their future – and we know that working with local businesses and organisations is a powerful way to bring that to life.“
