Leading Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging in Schools Conference '26

We believe that every school needs a plan for establishing, embedding and sustaining their DEIB strategy.

I n order to realise the school's vision, mission and values around their commitment to DEIB we believe that every school needs to appoint, remunerate and empower a DEIB leader to drive this agenda forwards.

We would love you to join us for our 2026 virtual Leading DEIB in Schools conference - an opportunity to connect, come together as a community and collaborate.

Join us on Wednesday 10th June 2026 for our virtual event with speakers from primary and secondary schools, from state and independent schools, from international schools.

All sessions will be recorded so that you can watch them all at your leisure, and around your time zone, following the event.
