Facilitator - Patrick Wilkins

Within the context of recent national and international events, highlighting the need for a renewed focus on tackling inequality, social justice and anti-racism, this course will provide support for school leaders in developing a positive response. Course content and interactive breakout sessions will offer opportunities for school leaders to explore the role of education in supporting their school communities to make a sustained difference to the lives of young people.

The course content will cover the challenging issues around unconscious bias, ‘white privilege’, staff recruitment, and the potential need for curriculum review. The session will also introduce a useful 'Challenge Toolkit’ providing support for school leaders at every level, in challenging racism and racial inequalities, including Anti-Semitism in the classroom and within the wider community where staff and young people are recognised as key to developing solutions.
