Equalities Policy Guide Professional Learning Programme – 30th September to 3rd June 2027 (7 online twilight sessions)
The Equalities Policy Guide Professional Learning Programme is designed to support practitioners to develop a robust, learner-informed equalities policy for their setting using the Equalities Policy Guide roadmap and supportive materials. This programme forms part of Education Scotland’s Equalities in Education suite of learning and resources and is relevant to practitioners from all educational sectors looking to lead on policy development.
The programme will benefit practitioners looking to develop leadership skills and increase understanding and confidence in relation to equalities and will contribute to whole-setting approaches to equalities work (e.g. preventing and responding to Gender-based Violence, anti-racist education and LGBT inclusion) and connects to key priorities such as Rights Respecting Schools, UNCRC.
