This course has been created by The Social Justice Collective to help you understand, address and embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) into your governance practice

Event details

Thanks to its small group size, this course gives you plenty of opportunities to ask questions and put your learning into practice. After the course, you’ll gain access to extra resources and an informal network to help you continue your learning.

The training will take place over two half days and will run from 09.30 until 12.30. You need to attend all sessions of the same course.

All sessions will include real life examples, practical tools, and opportunities to practice challenging conversations. There will also be space to reflect on this work between sessions.

  • explored the implementation of the Charity Governance Code principle on EDI
  • explored the EDI role of the board and how to assess systems and culture
  • discussed key EDI concepts
  • increased understanding of why good governance requires great EDI
  • started setting commitments towards EDI approach to good governance.
