To mark Disability History Month, NAHT's Leaders for Disabled Equality Network will host a free webinar for all members on Tuesday 1 December 2026 at 4pm. 

While the session draws on the experiences of disabled colleagues, the conversation is relevant to every school leader. At its heart is a simple question: what helps people do their best work and feel they belong?

Disabled staff continue to face barriers in the workplace. Yet many of the adjustments, practices and leadership approaches that support disabled colleagues also help create healthier, more productive workplaces for everyone. This webinar will explore how inclusive leadership can help schools attract, retain and get the best from talented staff. The event is based on the network's focus on improving workplace experiences for disabled staff and promoting practical tools that help leaders build supportive working environments.

We're delighted to be joined in this session by Domini Choudhury, member of the The Belonging Effect. 

Domini Choudhury is an associate Belonging Effect trainer, an award-winning EDI consultant, a former deputy and acting head teacher for 17 years, a local authority consultant and an evidence advocate for the Research Schools Network, part of the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF)

During the session we'll explore:

• the barriers disabled staff continue to face in education
• what disability can teach us about effective leadership

• practical approaches to adjustments, wellbeing and retention
• supporting staff returning to work following ill health
• how tools such as adjustment passports can help create more inclusive workplaces.

Whether you're a disabled member, an ally or simply a school leader looking to strengthen your workplace culture, you'll leave with practical ideas and insights to take back to your setting.

Join us this Disability History Month to explore how inclusive leadership benefits staff, schools and the wider profession.
