GLOBAL EQUALITY COLLECTIVE
The Global Equality Collective is taking diversity and inclusion a step further and making it easy for you to put equality first. Equality benefits everyone. ECIS together with GEC have launched an app that simplifies the process of working towards equality, diversity, and inclusion. Member schools will be able to download an app, which includes 2 simple checkbox assessments: one for the leadership team, and one for the employees. This will be offered for an introductory price of £250. The app is available on all devices, giving you immediate access to your equality and inclusion status, easily identifying gaps and providing an action plan.
