On this day CSIE celebrates 42 years of remarkable achievements!  

Founded in 1982 as the Centre for Studies on Integration in Education, CSIE took on its current name in the 1990s. The Centre has continued to evolve, has expanded its remit to address equality in education holistically, and has remained at the forefront of developments in inclusive education.

  • Received a prestigious grant which will be announced next week
  • Continued to be represented at the steering group of the Special Educational Consortium
  • Invited to take part in new European project to support inclusion in Early Years and primary schools

We remain committed to the vision that all children are safe, included and learning in their local school, and hope to continue getting closer to this vision in the days, months and years to come. We wish to thank all our supporters, and all those who continue to request our resources and our services and constantly remind us how much our work is valued – we would not be here without you!

Happy Birthday CSIE, we all wish that you keep going from strength to strength and continue to be at the cutting edge of developing inclusive education!
