2 July 2014 at 05:59 PM It was great to see so many of you at the AoC diversity conference in June. As promised, here are the links to the guidance I mentioned during my keynote speech in the afternoon
Education, Employment, Equality 25 April 2014 at 02:12 PM If your staff (teaching or support) heard offensive language in a corridor or classroom, would they tackle? For example, students casually using the word ‘gay’ to mean useless or rubbish, or students using the word ‘chav’, as a means of abuse?
25 March 2014 at 09:52 AM The Equality Challenge Unit has published ideas of how to provide effective support for all students whatever their protected characteristics or backgrounds. How does your practice shape up?
Equality 10 December 2013 at 09:34 PM The Nobel Peace Prize winner died at the age of 95 in December in his home in Johannesburg. He will be remembered for his great generosity of spirit, his tireless perseverance for justice and equality, and his powerful message of reconciliation. In one of his many famous speeches, he said ‘to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others’.
Equality 26 October 2013 at 10:58 AM How do you embed E&D in apprenticeship programmes when the learner spends most or all of their time in the place of employment? How do you avoid a ‘tick box approach’ to E&D for progress reviews or assessment visits? How can you genuinely and meaningfully raise awareness of E&D with learners and with employers? Did you know that the AoC is running a national event in Birmingham on 28 November that answers these and other questions on E&D and work-based learning?
