Diversity Health Check

Most schools and colleges genuinely want to do the right thing.

From ensuring diversity and breadth across the curriculum to creating a culture that celebrates and nurtures everyone in the community, most schools and colleges really want to get it right.

Sometimes, despite these best intentions, gaps remain.

This is where a knowledgeable and critical friend like Associate Ian Timbrell comes in useful.

We've teamed up with Ian's pioneering not-for-profit organisation More Than Flags and Rainbows to offer his unique Diversity Health Check programme to schools, colleges and other organisations.

Covering various aspects of diversity and with a strong focus on LGBTQ+ issues, the 'health check' includes:

• An initial online conversation to explore your specific needs and develop an outline timetable

• A complete audit of your curriculum policies, procedures and provision, conducting interviews, analysing documents and collecting feedback

• The preparation and delivery of a report which summarises the findings and highlights key areas for consideration and improvement. (You can download an example copy of a report here.)

• Collaboratively producing an action plan and timetable

• Delivering an improvement package including training and the development of suitable resources

As a former teacher and leadership team member, Ian knows his way around school cultures.

He also has first-hand experience of what it feels like to be in a school where the culture is not inclusive.

It's not a nice place to be.

Ian believes passionately that every child and adult has the right to feel 'safe, seen and supported' and he is committed to helping as many schools as possible make this happen.

For a free no-obligation chat about a Diversity Health Check for your school, college or organisation, simply call us on 01267 211432 or send us an email.

Our view is that the whole equality, diversity and inclusion challenge comes down to one basic rule - ensure everyone has what they need.

Through this unique Diversity Health Check, we can help make this ambition a reality.
