Promote Equality

Promoting Equality Logo

Promote Equality

Promote Equality was created by three women of African and Caribbean heritage, who passionately believe that now is the time for sustained change in terms of racial equity to be achieved. Rachel Clarke, Hind Mrimou and Nicola Thivessen have put together their research and lived experience to create this training system.

As a mother, a Deputy Head, the grand daughter of the first Black Headteacher in Wales, Betty Campbell, and the daughter of a Headteacher in London, Rachel has an inherent understanding of education.

Hind is recognised as a formidable and passionate educator, who is not willing to accept the inequitable attitudes and behaviour to racial equality.

Nicola is of mixed African-Caribbean and European heritage, born and raised in London. Stemming from a large mixed-ethnicity family and the daughter of a black former headteacher of an inner-London school, Nicola has grown up with a vivid and direct awareness of racial inequity.

Promote Equality is a tool that will support your organisation’s drive for racial equality and equity. The comprehensive and self-directed nature of this, not only makes this training platform unique but one which also secures sustained change. The intentional long-term structure of this ensures that development in the area of racial equality can be achieved through bite-sized tasks across the whole organisation.

The platform has been developed as a self -directed course, with a facilitator from your organisation delivering the training, once an initial pre-course module has been completed, along with the reading of the detailed facilitator notes. Organisations can use one of our consultants to support the facilitation and delivery of sessions if needed.

Facing History and Ourselves CIO

Facing History Logo

Facing History and Ourselves CIO

Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate. We provide educators with professional development, academic resources and proven student-centred strategies that focus on cultivating engaged and informed citizens, ensuring the realisation of a more compassionate and inclusive society.

Through rigorous historical analysis combined with the study of human behaviour, Facing History’s approach heightens students’ understanding of racism and religious intolerance.

Our work gives teachers the tools and confidence they need to lead deep classroom discussions on difficult subjects like inequality, race and social justice, and to integrate current events with historic case studies to bring history and literature to life. We have training and materials that are relevant for history, English, religious studies, citizenship, politics, PSHE and more.

Facing History produces a wide range of materials, resources and teaching ideas for use in the classroom, including:

  • Online and (when allowed) in-person training in our approach and the use of our resources
  • Full teaching units aligned to specific aspects of the curriculum
  • Teaching ideas (usually one or two lessons) to support a wider scheme of work
  • Current Events responses - to support teachers with having conversations about potentially challenging events with students
  • Teaching strategies and approaches to creating an inclusive classroom community where meaningful conversation and learning can take place even when addressing potentially challenging topics

We strongly encourage teachers to participate in our Professional Development opportunities to
develop an understanding of the approach that underpins the published resources.

External evaluation shows that pupils who study in a Facing History classroom are more likely to have respect and understanding for the rights of others whose views differ from their own and an increased capacity to make a difference in society. Young people who study Facing History have increased awareness of the power and danger of prejudice and discrimination, and how they can stand up to challenge it, as well as make choices that actively contribute to a more inclusive society. They are also more likely to be motivated to learn and read.

“Those taking GCSE Citizenship were mostly our lower achieving students, but they managed to outperform the higher achieving students. It is not something I’ve managed to achieve using any other resources or techniques so far.” – Facing History RS and Citizenship teacher

Inclusive Allyship Toolkit

Inclusive Allyship icon

Inclusive Allyship Toolkit

Inclusive Allyship Toolkit

Toolkit collated by Hannah Wilson with Adrian McLean

The Importance of Language

At Diverse Educators we use the umbrella term Inclusive Allyship. As Educators, we feel that this is most representative of what we do in our sector. However if this term does not resonate with you and you would like to consider alternatives, here are some options and definitions to explore:

Allyship
Allyship is about recognising your privilege, and then using it by standing in solidarity with marginalised groups to challenge the status quo. It involves working through discomfort, listening, and learning from mistakes.

Accomplice
In the context of race and social justice work, an accomplice is someone who assists others in creating a space of inclusion, equity, and safety for all, often at the risk of their own social and/or professional standing and physical well-being.

Coalition
A coalition is when people agree to work together, in partnership to achieve a common goal. Coalition builders in the inclusion context believe that allyship offers charity whereas coalition is more about solidarity and identifying those shared points of interest.

What Is an Inclusive Ally?

An ally is any person that actively promotes and aspires to advance the culture of inclusion through intentional, positive and conscious efforts that benefit people as a whole. An ally advocates and champions for marginalised colleagues in the workplace.

Inclusive Allies are committed to:
  • attracting and hiring a diverse workforce
  • cultivating an environment where all colleagues have a sense of belonging
  • creating a culture where all colleagues feel welcome, respected, and supported
  • amplifying and advocating for others
  • giving effective and equitable performance feedback
  • using more inclusive language
  • running inclusive conferences and events

The Diverse Educators’ Inclusive Allyship Toolkit

We are collating a growing bank of resources to support you in:

  • how you show up
  • how you stand up
  • how you speak out

To become an active upstander, instead of a passive bystander on social justice issues.

Bold Voices

Bold Voices logo

Bold Voices

Bold Voices is an award winning social enterprise preparing and empowering school communities to recognise and tackle gender inequality and gender-based violence. In 2022-23 alone we worked with over 32,000 young people, staff and parents in 100 schools across the UK, delivering knowledge about gender inequality, creating spaces for critical thought and discussion, and building the courage to challenge gendered issues.

Our education centres around building a critical, gendered lens on the world and being able to recognise that all forms of gender inequality are connected together, from gender stereotypes and gendered language that can appear harmless at first glance, all the way to experiences of sexual harassment and violence that we know cause harm. An important part of our approach is empowering young people themselves to be at the forefront of culture and attitude change. This is achieved through our Ambassador Programme that has so far supported over 150 young people aged 15-18 to develop the knowledge and skills to run projects creating change around gender inequality within their schools. We also run Mentor Projects within schools that sees us train up a group of 30 16-18 year olds who come and support with delivering workshops to younger year groups.

We deliver workshops, talks and programmes and provide resources and training in schools for young people, staff and parents and carers.
