Our Challenging Derogatory and Non-Inclusive Language Training

Our Training Offer

We support leaders, teachers, student support professionals and students, in developing their consciousness, confidence and competence in how to reduce the use of derogatory and non-inclusive language.

We will create a safe space for you and your students, in separate sessions, to explore and unpack why derogatory and non-inclusive language is used, and how to minimise its use through clear and effective strategies.

We can deliver face to face and virtually, for twilights, INSETs and conferences.

Our training session includes:
  • Examining the status and power of language
  • Discussing exactly what derogatory and non-inclusive language is
  • Reflecting on why it is harmful
  • Sharing strategies to deal with its use when it is received or when it is used
  • How to cascade best practice across the school community

Diverse Educators helped give us the confidence to evaluate our approach to dealing with derogatory language with the aim of making our school culture more inclusive.

Rowan Wright, Assistant Headteacher

For many teachers whose initial training is a long distant memory, workshops like this are vital in keeping us up to date with current guidance as well as giving us confidence to communicate with ease. Hannah was superb in her delivery throughout – highly engaging.
