INTRODUCTION
Inclusive practice is defined as the approach in which normal along with disabled
learners are accorded adequate support within educational school setting. It helps in recognising
benefits which diversity of students may bring in overall learning experiences. To understand
about inclusive practice, Keys Education is considered which provides education along with
child care facilities to children addition to young people having complex needs. It performs its
operations across Wales and England in UK with residential services together with schools. The
present report includes the impacts that certain factors have of learning (Key Education, 2020). It
further highlights about policies and regulatory frameworks related to inclusive practice which
influences policies and practice of the child care organisation. It also summarises about roles and
responsibilities, points of referral and characteristics with benefits of inclusive learning
environments and strategies. At last, reflective report is provided that encompasses effectiveness
of inclusive practice, strengths and improvement areas and ways to promote equality, diversity
and inclusions.
TASK 1
a). Impacts of
Personal, social and cultural factors on learning
There are various factors that impacts on learning of student (Amans, 2017). Learners have
to emphasis on their surrounding situations so to analyse what factors can impact and at what
extent on their learning. Some of the factors as identified by teacher of Key Education that
impacts on learning among students are as follows:
Personal factors: Age, gender addition to developing languages are certain personal
factors that impacts learning of children and student. For example, in Key Education people from
different age are provided education services. It is seen by teachers that children on young age
have excellent grasping memory which is important for learning but these children have low
level of concentration which impacts largely on their learning. However, students of old age so
not posses sharp memory as compared to young age but they posses high concentration in
learning that results in positive impacts to learn quickly (Arnold and Horan, 2017). Moreover, as
compared to boys, brains of girls develops faster that impacts on developing languages,

confidence and motivation which encourages them the most to learn new things as quickly as
possible.
Social factors: Peer pressure, background influences and attitude are some social actors
that impacts on students learning. For example, a student having god educational background,
financial support from parents and have huge interest in studies than it impacts positively on its
learning. At same time, when a student has low interest in subject, poor educational background
and huge pressure from teachers that it results in negative impacts on their learning as they faces
huge challenges in learning journey as well as requires huge helps for tackling challenges
(Berman and MacArthur, 2017). In Keys Education, teachers adopt different approaches which
suits styles of learning of learners so that all students can gain success in learning journey.
Cultural factors: Culture of an individual have huge impacts on its learning abilities.
Cultural orientation of student is one of cultural factor that impacts impediment towards learning.
For example, in Key Education student belonging to different cultures are provided education
and other facilities. There are some cultures which support learning and states that learning is
very important in the competitive world (Dickens, 2016). While certain cultures do not favour
educational learning for students. Moreover, it is also seen that learners that are brought up in
multilingual setting founds it easy to learn new things as they have knowledge of different
languages used in various settings which positively impacts on their ability to learn.
Different cognitive, physical along with sensory abilities on learning
Skills and abilities also impacts on learning at huge extent. Some of abilities and skills that
impacts learning among students of Key education are as follows:
Cognitive skills: It is the ability of a human to process thoughts and information as well as
performs mental activities that are related with learning (Ekins, 2016). For example, few students
of Key Education have reading ability which finds easy to learn things quickly in comparison to
students that do not have excellent analytical skills. Effective cognitive skills impacts positively
on students learning as it helps them to analyse as well as understand complex concepts.
Physical abilities: Good physical abilities acts as booster in learning as this makes
students active to complete all activities connected with learning, for example, writing and
reading. Physical challenges learners in Key Education experiences problems in journey of
learning at the time when they do not have important supporting equipment that impacts
negatively to learn or complete learning tasks. However, physically fit students are able to attend
