Racial Equity Programme Online

Published: 4 November 2020
Learn Sheffield has identified racial equity as one of our education priorities for the city. The programme is fully funded and now bookable online. It is designed to offer Sheffield schools and academies support as they engage with the challenge of ensuring that their provision and curriculum promotes and develops racial equity.

The Racial Equity programme was shared in the Leader Briefing: Autumn 1 (October 2020) online newsletter which was shared just before the end of the Autumn first half term. This newsletter also included a video introduction from Dr Muna Abdi.

This programme is fully funded for Sheffield schools and academies and is summarised below.

Colleagues can book places at the conference and the subsequent supervision sessions via the website now - https://www.learnsheffield.co.uk/Training-and-Events/Racial-Equity.
