Race Equality for Governors

Creating and assigning link governor roles to individual members of a governing body is an effective way to ensure governance remains strategic and focussed on key issues.

The development of a link governor for antiracism demonstrates the governing board and trust board’s commitment to supporting race equity for staff, pupils and the wider community. This session will challenge governors and trustees to think about how they move from compliance to commitment with regards antiracism.

This interactive session will cover:

• Setting the scene: compliance with the equality duty for schools
• Moving towards commitment: where might racism and discrimination dwell within your school and trust?
• Monitoring, accountability and challenge - the role and responsibilities of the link governor and the governing board
• Attendees will also recieve a downloadable handbook on Anti-Racism for Governors containing, terminology, policy, and resource links

Who can apply?

Any member of a school or MAT governing body:

• Governors
• Trustees
• Headteacher/Principals
