Over the past year, GEM has been working with seven museums – or groups of museums – in England that have been selected to participate in a new Inclusive Pathways Action Research Programme, made possible through the Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO) Programme from Arts Council England. This action research programme supports projects that are aimed at unlocking barriers to work experience, work placements and inclusive pathways, be it new initiatives or developmental work of existing work-based programmes. This session shares the insights from three projects focused on working with SEND learners, secondary schools, and home educated students.
