Time: 10:30-15:30
Venue: Zoom (online) meeting format
Audience: EDI leads who have attended the Academy Inclusion Lead Professional Practice 2-day certificated course

Course outline:

This one-day professional practice course has been developed in response to feedback from school EDI leads who have completed the initial 2-day certificated training. It is open to all those who have attended this initial training.

The main aims are to provide a day where colleagues:

will hear from speakers with expertise and lived experience about different areas of EDI
will have the opportunity to hear about examples of recent and ongoing work through case studies
and have time to share good practice and discuss this work in a supportive environment with others in similar roles

The details of the day are tbc, but will include:

Speakers with expertise and/or lived experience to inspire and challenge our thinking and to support us in our current work and with a focus on ‘looking upstream’
Colleagues who will share their work and journeys regarding a particular aspect of their EDI work in school
Time to meet/reconnect with colleagues to share good practice and provide support
