The fundamental role of legislation for inclusive education

Inclusive education is a term we encounter more and more often. The main objective of our article is to present the results of qualitative research that investigated whether residential support workers in children's homes are familiar with legislation related to inclusive education. Although residential support workers have already implemented the ideals of inclusive education in their practice, they need to be aware of its legal implications. Based on our results, we will discuss the need for greater awareness of inclusive education in the school sector and in other areas of our lives. We will also outline the benefits of inclusive education in the economic and social spheres. Above all, we will point out that inclusive education can only be achieved with adequate legislative support. In the conclusions, we suggest that inclusive education goes beyond simple academic goals to represent a social ideal, which is expressed in the idea of a community where mutual respect and empathy flourish. In any scenario, the symbiotic connection between schools and families is essential for the achievement of inclusive education.
