Inclusive Practice in Education - Primary schools, secondary schools and colleges

This training is designed to embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) across your educational establishment - enabling you to develop a highly inclusive culture. The training can be tailored to be delivered as part of an inset programme or twilight CPD. All sessions are interactive and discussion-based.  

Our three-hour training session explores:

• Equality Legislation
• The benefits of an inclusive school / college
• The nine protected characteristics
• What constitutes unlawful behaviour 
• Strategies for preventing and tackling inappropriate language and behaviour
• A brief introduction to unconscious bias and how to mitigate 
• Strategies and practical ideas for embedding EDI
• Introduction to an Equality Code to proactively promote inclusion

For a more in-depth look at unconscious bias, we offer a full day training session, covering EDI in the morning (see points above) and unconscious bias in the afternoon. 

Who are the courses aimed at?

The courses are aimed at school leaders, teaching staff, support, admin and site staff.

What will the delegates get from the courses?

Delegates will have a clearer understanding of equality law and their legal responsibility to promote equality, tackle discrimination and foster positive relations.  In fostering a whole school Equality Code, staff will have increased confidence in how to tackle prejudice and discrimination in a positive and assertive manner whilst empowering students to do the same. They will have the strategies and tools to weave inclusive practice into everything they do, from planning, resourcing and delivering learning to monitoring, reporting and embedding inclusive practice throughout the culture of the school.

Included in the training package:

• E-copy of delegate training pack
• A3-sized Equality Code posters (x10)
• A PowerPoint presentation of a short introductory session for you to deliver to students introducing them to the Equality Code and the Law
• Certificates of attendance
