Testimonial/s
'The DEI Leaders course delivered by Diverse Educators helped me develop my strategic thinking around the Equalities policy and plan for our school.
Sessions were a combination of information gathering, independent work and small group discussions. Other participants acted as a critical friend and help shape my plans through challenging questioning and effective feedback.
The DEI Leaders course is a great foundation for any whole school leader at the start of their journey.'
