Early Years Inclusion Champion Award

Welcome to the Gloucestershire Early Years Inclusion Champion Award 

The current Inclusion Champion platform will accept submissions until 24 October 2026.

The platform will be unavailable from 30 October 2026 while updates are made and will relaunch on 31 October 2026 with a simpler format, including fewer sections and less repetition.

If you have already started a submission, please save your work in a separate document. If you have not yet started, we recommend waiting until the updated platform is available.

If you would like support or have any questions about preparing your submission, please contact your Inclusion Advisor, who will be happy to help
