Inclusive practice could be termed to an approach that enables students and learners to
access content course, demonstrate knowledge together with strengths in assessment and fully
engaging in learning activities (Layer, 2019). These are related to process understanding,
determining as well as breaking down variants of barriers that exist in participation in learning
process. For understanding about creating inclusive playing field, chosen inclusive practice is
Geography and History.

of policy addition to regulatory framework on inclusive practice. Further, it describes roles and

TASK 1
1.1Impact of social, cultural and personal factors on learning
Learning is important in order to enhance the knowledge and growth of an individual.
Education is the fundamental requirement to develop basic understanding among individuals.
Certain factors which affect the learning process are mentioned below:
Social Factors: Social factors are related with status, class, religion and other such
elements. These elements have a great impact over the personality of students and also affect
their ability to learn the particular concept. In addition to this, factors such as peer pressure also
have a profound impact over the learning process. For instance, students who belong from the
environment where education is not considered as important aspect are more likely to skip the
classes (Sargeant, 2018).
Cultural factors: Culture shows the way one sees the world and communicate with
others. Hence, the culture dimension affects learning and teaching style to a great extend. In
addition to this, the values learned from the culture also have a great influence over the process
of learning.
Personal Factors: Each and every person has different personality which further
influence the learning process. Some individuals are quick learner and some are not. Learning

abilities, cognitive skills, attitude personality and more are some major aspects which influence
learning process significantly.
1.2 Discuss impact of Physical, sensory, and cognitive skills on learning
Cognitive Skills: This skill is related with understanding the concept in an effective
manner. Some crucial cognitive skills are learning, reading and other such abilities. In addition to
this, one of the crucial cognitive skills is the visual ability. This makes a student enable to
understand the concept thoroughly. If students have remarkable cognitive skills, they are likely
to perform well in academic setting (Heck and Block, 2019).
Physical abilities: Individuals are likely to grasp the concept as per their level of
understanding. It might differ from one person to another. People who are physically challenged
face ample of difficulties in learning. They cannot learn without the support of some necessary
equipments. For instance sign language is used for physically disable students.
Sensory skills: There are some disabilities such as autism, dyslexia which affect the
overall learning process. If some students are facing difficulties to understand the words, it is
required to teach them with the use of sign language (Finkelstein, Sharma and Furlonger, 2021).
2.1 Summarize the policy and regulatory framework related to inclusive practice
Education without discrimination in UK: This law was formulated in order to offer
equal educational opportunities to all individuals. It aims to provide similar level of education
regardless the color, race, gender and other factors. This law is covered under equality act 2010.
Equitable teacher distribution: According to this framework, deployment of teachers should
base on the principle of effectiveness, equality and efficiency. This framework is highly
important in order to ensure that all the students receive quality education regardless their
gender, geographic location, socio-economic status and more. There is requirement to allocate
quality teacher to meet with the learning gap present within the marginalized children (Cocks,
2019).
2.2 Discuss how policies affect organizational policies of inclusive practice
The regulatory and policy framework ensures that the organizational policies are well-
documented and can be easily accessed by different stakeholders such as teachers, students and
