Thrive and Best Practice Network International’s commitment to inclusive education has been recognised through a strategic partnership with the International Forums of Inclusion Practitioners (IFIP).
The agreement will see the two organisations share their joint expertise with inclusion practitioners, leaders and policymakers worldwide.
IFIP members will also receive a discount on training programmes, support and services from the two companies.
The partnership follows the naming of Thrive’s Head of Theory and Practice Viv Trask-Hall as a Distinguished Fellow of the IFIP. The award was made in recognition of her exceptional, sustained and significant contribution to the field of inclusion.
Viv Trask-Hall said: “The partnership between Thrive, Best Practice Network International and IFIP supports our drive and ambition to influence policy at a global level, and to form collaborative partnerships internationally. We would like to build and share best practice and seek to support and advocate for children and young people worldwide.
“Thirty years ago, Thrive’s founders had the ambition of ‘reaching every child’. Our partnership with IFIP brings us closer to achieving that on a global scale.”
Viv added: “Being named a Distinguished Fellow is a real honour, and I am deeply grateful to IFIP for awarding it to me.
“I see it as a call to continue working with children and young people and advocating to ensure they have representation, diversity, inclusion and visibility. When we prioritise inclusion, we strengthen our communities and clear the way for others.”
Daniel Sobel of IFIP said: “Thrive and Best Practice Network International is one of our carefully chosen partners, and we are proud to associate ourselves with their incredible work. They are a cherished and dear member at the very heart of the global inclusion community. We believe that Thrive courses are an invaluable part of the toolkit and should be a staple of teacher upskilling around the world. IFIP is delighted to endorse these courses and help to spread the word. We look forward to a fruitful and successful partnership.”

Thrive’s research-based support, training and tools help educators understand and meet the social and emotional needs of children and young people.
Best Practice Network International delivers high-quality training and professional development programmes for educators worldwide. It is the international arm of Best Practice Network, one of the UK’s largest providers of development and training for education professionals.
The IFIP is a voluntary, global membership organisation of hundreds of inclusion practitioners with a vision to enable every teacher, through inclusive practices, to teach every child in their classroom, no matter what their ability. IFIP members include school-based practitioners, authors, university professors and policy makers at national and international levels. The organisation held its inaugural World Inclusion Congress last October in Kazakhstan, which was attended by representatives from both companies.
