Bridging the diversity gap

A webinar for Schools and Multi Academy Trusts on how to bridge the diversity gap, with a focus on race.

Sharon Warmington CEO of the National Black Governors Network (NBGN) will lead a session on promoting diversity in governance. Sharon is a straight talking, no-nonsense executive coach with a strong focus on gender and cultural diversity in boardrooms.

This cross-diocesan session will focus on the reasons why diversity is good for school communities and how all those involved in school governance can proactively attract, recruit and retain diverse representation to change the face of governance for the benefit of all students.
