Overview
In 2023-24, the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) received over 1,700 referrals for teacher misconduct in England alone.
Meanwhile, hate crime rates—from antisemitism to Islamophobia to transphobia—continue to rise, showing up not only in communities but in classrooms, staffrooms, and around the school gates.
The legal landscape is shifting too, most recently with the UK Supreme Court's ruling redefining “sex” as biological sex under the Equality Act. This ruling has profound implications for how schools navigate staff beliefs, student identities, and community trust.
About the Course: Leadership in today’s polarised world requires more than compliance with policies or knowledge of procedure.
It demands judiciousness, resilience, and a capacity to hold complex cultural tensions alongside community trust. This five-session course is designed for leaders navigating staff conduct issues, community conflict, and the broader cultural pressures that shape schools, organisations, and workplaces today.
We provide a framework and practical tools to help you respond thoughtfully and lead confidently through law, policy, emotion, and culture.
This course is not about offering easy answers, but equipping you with the discernment, support, and structure to manage these situations carefully and well.
