Celebrating Diversity and Promoting Equality in Schools

Thursday 23 Feb 2017
Park Crescent Conference Centre, London

Why is this conference relevant?

'Teachers are dealing with an increasing number of racist incidents in schools following the EU referendum.'*

With the current political climate leading to a rise in racism, it’s vital you are raising awareness of all strands of diversity, preventing discrimination and promoting equality to enable your students to appreciate the diverse society that they live in.

Our Celebrating Diversity and Promoting Equality in Schools conference will give you the knowledge and strategies you need to ensure SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural), character education and British values are embedded across your school and that diversity is celebrated.
