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.

Suitable for all phases and all types of school, this insightful, honest and useful tool covers many aspects of diversity and has a strong focus on LGBTQ+ issues.

Included are:

• 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 with staff and students, analysing documents, reading material 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 a sample copy of a report here)
• Production of an Executive Summary suitable for governors
• Presentation of the report in an hour-long online call with Ian
• Collaboratively producing an action plan and timetable
• Delivering an improvement package including, where relevant, face-to-face and online training alongside the development of suitable resources, all at specially negotiated rates
• A free copy of Ian's new book Only Flags and Rainbows published by the Independent Thinking Press

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.
