Equality Diversity and Inclusion(EDI) Network
During these sessions members of staff responsible for inclusion, EDI and safeguarding can come together and discuss what approaches and challenges they are facing at their school to address the needs of their community.
These meetings are particularly useful for colleagues with responsibility for inclusion, or for those who would like the opportunity to network with other colleagues about developing approaches to inclusion, EDI and safeguarding.
We hope by working collaboratively in this way, we will most effectively support Greenwich pupils and ensure that we are providing equitable, safe and inclusive schools for them.
