We are delighted to announce that CSIE has received funding from the National Lottery Awards for All programme to set up an online equality hub! The grant will enable us to work with schools to create this new resource, and make it freely available to all schools.

We expect to draw from our collaboratively-created, award-winning guide “Equality: Making It Happen – a guide to help schools ensure everyone is safe, included and learning” enhanced with up-to-date information and enriched with current examples of good practice. Teachers tell us that the multitude of resources available is overwhelming and agree that a single space from which to navigate through available resources would be extremely helpful. In the words of one head teacher: “The idea of an online equality hub being freely available to all schools is essential. When these issues arise for different schools, they don’t know where to look. To have something central, quickly and easily accessible, is brilliant!”

We are exploring the possibility that the new equality hub will be hosted on a long-established website popular with teachers, and trust we will soon be able to confirm further details about this exciting project.
