National Inclusion Week Guide
National Inclusion Week (NIW) is an annual UK-wide event launched in 2013 to celebrate inclusion and inspire meaningful, sustained action in workplaces. It provides an opportunity for organisations to reflect, learn, and commit to making inclusion a core part of their culture and everyday practice.
In 2025, NIW will take place from 15th–21st September. It’s a chance to go beyond awareness-raising and ensure that inclusion is embedded into systems, strategies, and behaviours across all levels of an organisation.
Designing, Planning, and Developing an Equality Policy and Action Plan
Keeping your policies current and relevant is crucial, though it can be challenging and time-consuming. The assurance that your policies reflect the latest legislation and best practices in inclusion is invaluable. Our team will partner with you to create well-written, comprehensive policies and action plans. We support your organisation in embedding and acting on EDI issues, ensuring your policies set a strong foundation and clarify employee expectations.
10 Key Steps to Understanding and Applying Intersectionality
Intersectionality is a powerful tool that helps us uncover how different systems of power shape inequality. It provides a lens through which we can examine the ways oppression and privilege interact, often in complex and overlapping ways.
Rooted in Black feminist thought and first defined by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw in the 1980s, intersectionality has gained greater prominence in the mid-late 2010s. It helps us see how identities such as gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, and more can both empower and disadvantage individuals depending on the structures of society.
Understanding and applying intersectionality allows us to challenge discrimination and privilege in meaningful ways. Here are ten key steps to doing so effectively.

Learning Styles – What School Leaders Need to Know
The theory of learning styles claims that individuals learn best when taught in their preferred sensory mode:
- Visual (seeing)
- Auditory (hearing)
- Kinesthetic (doing)
Despite its popularity, research over the last 40 years shows no reliable evidence that matching teaching to these styles improves learning.
The intention behind learning styles – personalising learning – is admirable but misinformed. Schools can achieve far better outcomes by embracing research-led, inclusive practices that focus on how learning truly works.

Not racist v Anti-Racist
There's a big difference between being not-racist and being anti-racist. I know it doesn't seem like it. I know that both things seem equally good, but they're not.
Sometimes, we sit and we look around us and we think, ‘how can I possibly change all this?’ And sometimes you can’t.
But what you can do is make sure wherever you go, people know where you stand.
They know that you’re an anti-racist. You become a beacon of light that way.
You become someone who makes other people want to be anti-racist too.
You’ve got tools at your disposal. Learn. Read. And make everybody clear where you stand.
