We are very sad to inform you that CSIE will close at the end of May 2026.

For 44 years CSIE has been dedicated to developing more inclusive education for all, to protecting disabled children’s right to a good education in their local community, and to raising awareness of the benefits of inclusive education for all.

We want to recognise the vision, expertise and commitment of those who have worked for and with CSIE. Our current staff have worked tirelessly to secure further funding to continue the work but, despite generous donations over the last 15 months, we do not have the funding to continue.

Thank you for your interest in and your support for CSIE,

The Trustees of CSIE

About CSIE

CSIE is a national charity at the forefront of developing more inclusive education for all, especially those with labels of special educational needs and disability (SEND). We work in two main ways: from the top down (for example by taking part in discussions or consultations to help shape laws and policies) and from the ground up (for example by offering training, advice, and practical help for inclusive school development). We also provide speakers for events and create resources that schools, families, and communities can use to promote inclusion.

If you like what we do, you can help us do more. CSIE receives no regular funding – our income and continued existence depend on sales of resources & services; on charitable, research or other project grants; and on your generous donations.
