Diverse History UK provide educational consultancy and resource production services to address diversification of school curricula. We strive to ensure that history departments are truly diverse and amplify marginalised histories. The belief that the education sector can do so much to challenge prejudices and misconceptions through teaching marginalised histories, inspired us to set up Diverse History UK. We are driven by the knowledge that a diverse education for all children can help to challenge damaging prejudices and stereotypes, benefiting our pupils and our whole society both academically and pastorally.

We feel strongly that as educators we have a responsibility to ensure Britain’s diverse society is reflected in our curricula. We are passionate about the implementation of curricula that amplify marginalised histories in order to promote a happier and more harmonious society. As well as focusing on diverse content, we are also passionate about teaching students to engage with historiography in order to hone their academic skills from KS2 onwards.

We know from experience that it is possible to include a truly diverse curriculum which explores lesser-told narratives from around the globe, all within the constraints of the National Curriculum. Diverse History UK wants to help schools to move away from single story narratives and towards teaching more inclusive and honest global histories.

We are a female and LGBTQ+ owned business. All of our team are DBS checked.

We specialise in the research of marginalised histories,. In particular on LGBTQ+ history, 19th Century asylums and African colonialism.

The Association for Science Education (ASE) is an active membership body that has been supporting all those involved in science education from pre-school to higher education for over 100 years; members include teachers, technicians, tutors and advisers. We are a Registered Charity with a Royal Charter, owned by our members and independent of government. We seek to create a powerful voice for science education professionals in order to make a positive and influential difference to the teaching and learning of science throughout the UK and further afield.

We are leading a national project called Inclusion in Schools because we recognise the importance of improving the education experience for all young people regardless of circumstance. This is a whole school project that goes beyond the science classroom. It aims to support state-funded secondary schools in England to address barriers to inclusion that can affect the subject choices students make. The pandemic has undone a lot of good work when it comes to inclusion and closing the gap, so this work is particularly important at this time and together we can make real change happen.

Kids of Colour is a project for young people of colour to explore ‘race’, identity and culture, founded in Manchester by Roxy Legane in 2018. Kids of Colour create spaces to challenge the racism that affects young people and their communities; building collective resistance and solidarity.

Our work with young people of colour involves running regular youth spaces where young people meet others, discuss and explore experiences, learn about their own and local histories – and have fun! We elevate young people’s experiences via our online platforms and at our community events and offer opportunities throughout the year for young people to celebrate and learn about their identities, cultures and histories – this happens through our free books scheme ‘The Bookshelf’, our Summer School and ad-hoc local trips/ events.

We work to inform society on the diverse experiences belonging to young people of colour and challenge the racialized, dehumanising narratives that uphold negative stereotypes. In our work we advocate for young people and actively challenge racism experienced by young people and families, mostly focussed on areas of education and policing. We create opportunities for the public to learn from young people, encouraging young and adult allies to reflect on the individual and systemic changes needed in society that they must be a part of implementing. This happens through our Introductory Anti-Racist Practise workshops with youth workers and educators, public community events and lead discussion based workshops with mixed groups of young people across Greater Manchester.

We co-lead a community campaign with the Northern Police Monitoring Project called No Police In Schools. In 2020 we launched our report Decriminalise the Classroom: A Community Response to Police in Greater Manchester’s Schools. The report includes research conducted across Greater Manchester, collating experiences from young people, youth workers, educators, teachers and wider members of the community.

The Anne Frank Trust is an education charity that empowers 10-15 year olds to challenge all forms of prejudice, inspired by the life and work of Anne Frank. Our work uniquely combines Holocaust education, peer education and youth empowerment to create lasting positive changes in young people’s behaviours and attitudes towards others. Anne Frank’s life and diary are uniquely powerful as a catalyst for this learning and reflection about prejudice and are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is a society free from prejudice and we believe young people are the key to achieving this.

Based on our peer education model we have two core in school programmes- History for Today where a group of students are trained to become peer guides with a physical exhibition and our Voices for Equality programme where a group of young people are supported to become voices for equality in their school community. As part of both programmes we also run full class workshops based on different themes including Anti- Semitism, Homophobia, Islamophobia, Gender Expectations, Transphobia and Ableism.

Our Head Office is based in London with delivery staff currently based in London, West Midlands, Yorkshire, North East England, North West England and Scotland.

At the Anne Frank Trust we have an excellent track record of independent evaluation of or programmes. Our long standing partnership working with social psychologists at the University of Kent and our latest impact report ‘Just Being Human’ provide powerful and continuing evidence of the impact of our education programmes on young people’s attitudes, knowledge, empathy and confidence to challenge prejudice. In the year 2020-21 92.5% of the young people we worked with showed progress in their attitudes towards at least one social group different to themselves. We also found that 70.7% of young people worked with made significant progress in their knowledge of prejudice and the harm it can cause.

Teaching With Inclusion & Culture Embedded (TWICE®) is a professional development workshop designed by Estelle Baroung Hughes and Estelle Bougna Fomeju, two Cameroonian educators and researchers. This online or in-person training focuses on culturally-inclusive teaching. It is particularly tailored for international schools.

We nurture cultural literacy and self-reflection when assisting international schools in their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work. Hence our motto: think TWICE when it comes to culture and teaching.

In 2 years, we have trained over 300 educators based in Africa, Europe and Asia and who teach in primary, middle, or secondary international schools.
