We have a new DEIB toolkit - it is our 40th in our suite of free resources for the Diverse Educators network.

Lots of parents/ carers have been in touch to ask for support and signposting in DEIB matters. Schools have also been in touch asking for support on DEIB with parents/ carers.

DEIB for Parents and Carers Toolkit | Diverse Educators
Supporting our own children to show up in the world confident in their own identity is a hugely important task.

I'm hunting down every last one of you lovely ITE / ITT folk. I'm mainly relying on people's bios to determine who might want to be included here, so if I've missed you, let me know and I will update this list.

Reposts appreciated 👍
