ABSTRACT

One of the main things the author have learned from the three schools where he have delivered this resource is to ensure that work on equalities is embedded across the school. Transparency is critical and the school leadership team needs to be clear about the vision and aims in order to take it to the governors. In his school some governors borrowed books to take home. Be clear that we are not asking for governors' permission to do this work; the government is already asking schools to promote equality and diversity, and Ofsted is judging schools on the strategies they are using. Schools may want to lead their own training or there are many trainers available around the country who will happily come in for a half-day or a staff inset day. As visitors enter the school building there needs to be some signal that here is a school that promotes diversity.
