What is the Inclusive Leadership Course (ILC)?
The most in-depth, up-to-date, and impactful professional development programme designed for senior school leaders, pastoral leaders, and leaders of behaviour and inclusion. You join an in-person network of inclusive leaders receiving tailor-made, in-depth training that provides a blend of theory, reflection, and practical application.
School leaders are grappling with new and emerging problems.
The Difference understands that leaders are grappling with curriculum engagement, attendance challenges, persistent absenteeism, challenging behaviour and repeat exclusion, all topics increasingly of focus for Ofsted, but moreover all impacting on day-to-day school life.
It can be challenging to tackle these problems alone.
There is also increased demand on schools to evolve to meet the complexities of mental wellbeing and safeguarding needs. Meanwhile, it is harder to predict the children at risk of harm, against the context of the ever-growing risks of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) and Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE).
What the Inclusive Leadership can do for you?
The Difference’s Inclusive Leadership Courses helps you to overcome these problems by drawing on best practice in trauma-informed approaches, as developed in collaboration with the University of Glasgow; contextual safeguarding, as developed by the University of Bedfordshire and Ofsted alongside Difference Programme Director, Shaun Brown; and in taking an Asset-Based Approach to leadership within a local community, through the pioneering work of Head of Inclusive Leadership Courses, Mohamed Abdallah.
“I am drawn to help the kind of children I grew up with and that is what The Difference offers. Too often, support for these children comes too late when the child is already permanently excluded. We need to identify the problem and act sooner.”
- Matt Jones, Principal Ark Globe (quoted in Evening Standard)
