Inclusion and Diversity Partnership (IDP)
The Inclusion and Diversity Partnership (IDP) provides a forum for open discussion and collaboration to shape and influence practice in educational settings to meet one overarching aim:
Through a focus on equality and diversity, settings will develop further into places where people genuinely feel that they belong and, as a result, they will develop a strong and positive sense of self and an appreciation of their own and others' uniqueness and identity.
Ultimately, this will impact on wider society as the children and young people in our schools today will grow into tomorrow’s adults. The partnership aims to shape children and develop critical thinking, skilling children up to challenge and confront prejudice, discrimination, and racism, in order for our communities to become inclusive in the broadest sense.
The IDP was formed with the understanding that this work is part of a long and sustained journey for our communities, intended to supplement what we already do, and provide a forum for us to work collaboratively on a shared vision.
88 schools and settings have signed the county commitment document to demonstrate to others, both those within their immediate communities and those further afield, that they are working to further promote a sense of belonging in their settings.
