Knowra Social inclusion Social inclusion Social inclusion is the condition and process of enabling people to participate fully in society, with access to relationships, institutions, resources, and decision-making.
Social exclusion : Social exclusion is the process or condition in which people are blocked from participating in social, economic, political, or cultural life. It names the barriers and disadvantages that inclusion efforts seek to dismantle.
Social participation : Social participation is involvement in relationships, groups, activities, and decisions within a community. It is a visible dimension of the participation that inclusion seeks to enable.
Inclusive education : Inclusive education educates students with diverse abilities and backgrounds together, while providing support for meaningful participation. Schools are a major setting where inclusion shapes access, relationships, and learning.
Social determinants of health : Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, and the forces shaping them. Exclusion from resources and relationships can shape health through these conditions.
Universal design : Universal design creates environments and products usable by people with varied abilities without requiring specialized adaptation. Designing for varied needs from the outset can prevent exclusion at shared institutions and services.
Equality of opportunity : Equality of opportunity means that people's prospects are not unfairly limited by circumstances unrelated to their abilities or choices. Inclusion requires more than nominal access when unequal starting conditions obstruct participation.
Inclusive employment : Inclusive employment enables people with diverse identities and abilities to obtain, retain, and advance in decent work. Workplace inclusion links participation to income, autonomy, and social relationships.
Health equity : Health equity is the absence of unfair and avoidable differences in health among population groups. Inclusion can help address social barriers that produce unjust health differences.
Reasonable accommodation : Reasonable accommodation is a necessary, appropriate adjustment that enables a person with a disability to exercise rights on an equal basis. Individual adjustments address barriers that general accessibility measures do not remove.
Accessibility : Accessibility is the extent to which environments, services, information, and technologies can be used by people with varied needs. Accessible settings make participation practically possible across public and private life.
