Over twenty years ago, my son - now 30- had a life-threatening reaction to peanuts in a restaurant where we had checked and re-checked beforehand and during the meal. Terrified, next day, I told the cook in his school that in future I would send his lunch and snacks in each day. Roger the Cook drew himself up to his impressive full height ( and width) and glowered "Don't you think I can feed your son safely?" I quailed. From that day, peanuts and other nuts were off the menu.....and my son was included . And just last month, in that same school, my five year old grandson came home showing us his name in Braille, because, he said with great excitement, a blind boy was joining his class. That's inclusion. Kids take it for granted if the leadership is there from the parents and school.
