Equality workshops for staff and governors
By Centre For Studies On Inclusive Education
We will come to your school at a time that suits you and run a 2-hour workshop for all staff. We will present in clear and simple terms the school’s duties under the Equality Act, help you guard against discrimination, and leave you with useful resources. HOW WILL THIS WORKSHOP HELP YOUR SCHOOL? This is a practical, "hands on" workshop designed to be engaging and constructive. Over and above helping your school fulfil its legal duties, it will help ensure that nobody is left behind or discriminated against. The workshop will show how all protected characteristics covered by the Equality Act 2010 can be reflected positively in everyday school life. It will consider real-life examples and make this more meaningful and relevant by inviting participants to bring their own examples of equality challenges in school. We will 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. Above all, the workshop will help develop a shared understanding and build a consistent response to diversity and equality. We understand that all schools are at different stages of this journey, so this workshop will assist you in determining next steps and areas of specific focus for your setting. WHAT WILL THE WORKSHOP COVER? The workshop will: * provide an overview of the Equality Act 2010, including the Public Sector Equality Duty and what it means for all schools * bring awareness to unconscious bias and how it can influence our interactions * present strategies for removing barriers to learning and participation * address intersectionality and how it affects people’s experiences * help develop confidence and language for discussing sensitive equality issues * add flesh to the bones of all the above, by considering real-life examples WHO IS IT FOR? The workshop has been designed for all primary and secondary school staff and governors; delivery is adjusted to the context of each school. We encourage all teaching and non-teaching staff to attend, so that your school can develop a coherent and consistent response to diversity and equality.
