Champions for Change Programme

For Primary Educators

A Year-Long Programme for Primary School Educators

Overview

This year-long anti-racism programme engages a school’s entire staff body to truly create and promote an anti-racist school environment and culture that will support every pupil to thrive.

Programme Structure

Our content is tailored to suit various roles within the educational ecosystem. It includes specific training modules for Senior Leadership Teams (SLT) and Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), alongside core training for teaching and support staff. This tiered approach ensures that every member of the school staff can effectively contribute to building an anti-racist environment.

This programme includes:

  • Pre and post programme audits – to observe changes and allows us to make any specific recommendations.
  • User-friendly E-learning modules.
  • Supported by an in-person staff training session each term, where teachers can have discussions and seek support from our expert facilitators. 

This programme is for both racially diverse schools as well as less diverse schools as it is everyone’s job to create an anti-racist Britain!
