CST's discussion paper on encouraging diversity of staff working in the education sector.
Ethnic diversity in schools in England remains a challenge for all of us. While society has continued to grow in diversity, and despite best intentions of those working in education, the diversity of staff working in the sector continues to lag behind the communities it serves.
Our discussion paper is informed by NFER’s research and by practical feedback from CST member trusts and other sector colleagues about their approaches and challenges. It seeks to offer some concrete steps that school trusts can make to take real ownership of encouraging diversity, and to encourage innovative thought about new approaches to recruitment, retention and progression and, importantly, governance.
