Anti-Racism in Schools - Virtual Conference '26

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

In order to realise the school/ college/ trust's vision, mission and values around their commitment to DEIB we are launching a new series of virtual thematic conferences to support you on your DEIB journey as a community.

You can book to attend one event or engage with the series:

• Friday 9th October 2026: Anti-racism in Schools Virtual Conference
• Friday 5th February 2027: SEND and Neuroinclusion in Schools Virtual Conference
• Friday 5th March 2027: Women Leadership in Schools Virtual Conference
• Friday 7th May 2027: LGBT+ Inclusion in Schools Virtual Conference

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