Inclusive fieldwork
Fieldwork should be planned and conducted in such a way as to be as inclusive and accessible as possible, considering the wellbeing of students and staff, including their mental and physical health, and all other protected characteristics.
Fieldwork options for school fieldwork should be fair and appropriate and, to the extent possible, overcome possible costs and other barriers that might impact a student’s ability to participate (e.g. through caring responsibilities).
Below are links to a variety of resources and research papers on the subject of inclusivity in fieldwork.
