What does the programme involve?

As facilitators we have been careful to construct a programme that recognises the ongoing nature of this work. Our delivery is sensitive to the fact that not every school is where they want to be and so with a non-judgmental and practical approach the programme will support each school we work with to set out their current roadblocks and plan a sustainable route map.

We believe that supporting and challenging individuals in their beliefs around diversity, equity and inclusion matters, as well as ensuring cultural commitment to the work at a strategic level, are the best means of securing safe and inclusive schools for the whole community

Who is the Programme For?

This programme is to support schools who want to develop their DEIB efforts and who are ready to nominate, develop and remunerate a DEIB leader.
We believe that every school should have someone who is designated to take on this leadership role, someone who is dedicated to being or committed to becoming a DEIB activist.
