Diversity for Good
We believe that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is not limited to corporates and for real change to happen, the community, the government and the public needs to be involved.
We don’t just find it sad that by the age of 6, girls feel that they are inferior to boys, we are doing something about it by working with primary and secondary schools across the UK to support teachers, parents and students. We have designed a facilitated session that helps groups of children identify the issue in a collaborative and fun way and think about ways in which they can work, play and socialise with each other to try and mitigate the perception girls have of themselves. Sessions have been designed for teachers and parents to think about language used, stereotypes drawn and other ways in which we can counteract this issue. We are developing a piece of research in this area as part of the voluntary work we are doing.
We don’t just pay a professional interest in cultural diversity, we are actively working with leadership teams in India, China and Nairobi to provide coaching and ED&I executive support. Through these relationships we have been working to develop local coaches and have gained a broader understanding of cross-cultural working practices.
We don’t just care about developing educational leaders with a greater understanding of how to foster and create an inclusive culture, our team regularly provides voluntary coaching to people we meet either through work or personal interests. Our team has provided pro-bono coaching to an Assistant Principle across multi-academy trust. Together they have been exploring how to maintain authenticity as a leader whilst adapting style, language and approach to gain credibility with her Leadership Team and a culture where teachers are able to speak-up and out.
