Inclusion and children's rights, with Prof. Emer Ring
In the final episode of the series shining a light on children's rights, we chat with Prof. Emer Ring, Dean of Education at Mary Immaculate College. We discuss the elements we need to think about as we seek to develop a shared understanding of what inclusion means for us as early childhood educators and how that lens has evolved and changed over time. Emer also talks about the Reggio Emilia approach to special rights. She refers to the final evaluation of phase one of the Leadership for INClusion in the Early Years (LINC programme) 2016-2020 and you can read that report here .
