    This course is available to both primary and secondary practitioners and can be delivered as a 2 hour twilight session or as part of an INSET day.

    The course will cover the following key areas:

    • school vision and ethos and the role of PLAB (Prejudicial language and behaviour)
    • exploration of development of prejudicial views and attitudes
    • developing a coherent understanding of PLAB and consistent recording
    • impact of PLAB
    • challenging and responding effectively to PLAB
    • school policy and frameworks in place – next steps
    • explore opportunities to challenge negative attitudes/behaviours using the curriculum and wider ethos of the school.

     

    There will also be an opportunity for practitioners to familiarise themselves with the Hampshire PLAB toolkit designed to support schools in tracking these behaviours more effectively, capture pupil feedback and communicate with parents/carers.

    The toolkit will provide schools with a coherent and effective means to track and respond to behaviour that impacts negatively on community cohesion whilst further contributing to their statutory duty under the Equality Act (2010).

    The course supports schools’ statutory duty under: The Equalities Act 2010 – Fundamental British Values – Ofsted – SMSC

    The course will support schools to ensure that:

    “Leaders and staff create a positive environment in which bullying, unlawful discrimination, harassment, including sexual harassment, victimisation, physical and/or sexual violence and derogatory language are not tolerated.”

    “Leaders recognise that bullying takes various forms, and is often motivated by prejudice against particular groups, for example on grounds of race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, SEND, or because a pupil is adopted, in care or has caring responsibilities; it might be motivated by actual differences between pupils, or perceived differences.”

      This is a bespoke training offer for schools to develop and support equality and diversity teaching in the curriculum and wider ethos of the school.

      The whole staff training session can be delivered as part of an INSET day or as a 2-hour twilight session.

      The training incorporates features of good practice, whole school approaches and practical ideas and resources to enable practitioners to embed diverse perspectives across the curriculum, supporting schools with their duty under the Equality Act, SMSC, 2025 Curriculum Review and Ofsted requirements.

      “We are seeking to deliver a curriculum that reflects the issues and diversities of our society, ensuring all children and young people are represented, whilst also exposing them to a wide range of perspectives that broaden their horizons.

      To foster engagement and support positive outcomes, it’s important that the curriculum covers a wide range of experiences and representation, as well as promoting our shared values, to build empathy and understanding of others.”

      Curriculum and Assessment Review final report: Building a world-class curriculum for all

      • The curriculum and wider opportunities prepare pupils for life beyond school.
      • Pupils develop their ability to be reflective about their own beliefs (religious or otherwise) and perspective on life, including developing their knowledge of, and respect for, different people’s faiths, feelings and values.
      • Supporting pupils to become responsible, respectful and active citizens who can play their part in public life as young people and adults.
      • Promoting equality of opportunity so that all pupils can thrive together and understand that individual characteristics make people unique; this includes, but is not limited to, an age-appropriate understanding of the protected characteristics defined in the Equality Act 2010.
      • Pupils feel welcome, valued and respected and that they belong within the school community.
      • Pupils understand, appreciate and respect differences in the world and its people; they celebrate what we have in common across cultural, religious, ethnic and socioeconomic communities.
