Inform and update governors on current local and national issues relating to schools and the work of the Governing Board. A school to school approach, combined with the increased focus on school governance, will require governing boards to consider how all governors can work collectively, not just in their own schools, but across the wider ‘governor community’. The forums will facilitate governor networking and information gathering through high quality presentations that facilitate discussion and information sharing among peers.

Governors have a responsibility to ensure their school complies with the Equality Act 2010. This 2 hour training session is an introduction to equality & diversity legalisation and governors' roles and responsibilities within this. The course will help governors ensure schools are inclusive of the diverse needs of their community. In this course we will go through the relevant legislation and current Ofsted advice, look at up to date equality data, appropriate terminology, best practice around equality issues, using quizzes, group activities and case studies. This course will set you on the right path to best support your school to embed a whole school approach to equality
