Achievement and Equality Team

Nottinghamshire serves an increasingly diverse community, which includes those who are New to English and more advanced bilingual learners; Gypsy, Roma, Travellers, and significant numbers of children from Black and Mixed backgrounds.

We are a specialist team who work county-wide to support schools to effectively meet the needs of these pupils and their families.

In addition, we have considerable expertise in supporting both multi-ethnic and mainly white schools to fulfil their statutory duties under the Equality Act 2010 and provide support, advice and guidance around policy development.

What we offer:

• Initial needs assessments and advice visits.
• Direct pupil support (individual and group and whole class).
• Training and development (for governors, Senior Leaders, Teaching staff and all Support staff).
• Home-school liaison, including some translation and interpretation.
• Curriculum development and resourcing.
• Engagement of pupils, parents/carers, and wider community e.g. pupil voice.
• Best practice development in relation to equality issues.

We constantly review our service offer in the light of feedback from schools, young people and families. We will do our best to respond quickly to requests for support and to ensure that what we offer is at the forefront of best practice.

Training:

We can offer bespoke courses on request for a range of audiences and on a wide range of topics. These courses can be offered to individual settings or a family of schools. Some courses are also organised centrally for specific target audiences. Details of all our training courses are available on request.
