Professional Practice Day for EDI Leads: Looking Upstream

‘There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in’ Desmond Tutu

• Date: January Friday 21st and Monday 20th June
• 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
