Diversity in Governance

Diversity in Governance

Diverse Educators are working in collaboration with the national organisations responsible for school governance to amplify the conversations around diverse representation of school governance, for Governing Bodies and Trust Boards.

Each organisation is aligned with our #DiverseEd vision,  mission and values to ensure we have diverse representation at every level of the school system.
