Bring your whole team together for a lively and practical 2-hour workshop, delivered at your school, college or early years setting at a time that works for you. The workshop is designed to support your setting to build inclusive cultures, policies and practices, so that every child and adult can feel safe, valued and respected.

By investing in this training, schools demonstrate their commitment to equality and inclusion, reinforce trust with parents and the wider community, and ensure they are well prepared for Ofsted scrutiny. Everyone leaves with practical tools, renewed confidence and a stronger shared vision to strengthen inclusion in your setting.

The workshop explains, in clear and straightforward terms, your responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010, explores how unconscious bias can affect decision-making and everyday interactions, shows how to spot and prevent discrimination, and considers how to create learning environments where diversity is celebrated. It will also show you how to get the best out of CSIE’s toolkit ‘Equality: Making It Happen’ – a succinct and user-friendly set of reference cards to help schools promote equality – and leave you with at least two complimentary copies. The session is interactive and tailored to your context, encouraging staff and governors to reflect on practice and share ideas.

Creating a school where everyone feels safe, included and able to thrive is not just a legal duty — it’s at the heart of good education. This workshop is designed to give your staff and governors the knowledge, confidence and practical strategies to make this a reality.
