Developing inclusive people leadership so staff and pupils can flourish

This session looks at the critical importance of developing inclusive leaders - those who create environments where everyone can thrive. Participants will explore how inclusive recruitment, people development, performance management, and supportive wellbeing can support our leaders to be successful for the benefit of the adults and children in their care. You’ll also have the opportunity to consider how a strategic focus on flourishing adults can have a tangible impact on teacher retainment, creating the powerful argument for investing in this area. Following this session, delegates will be able to answer two key questions: What does inclusive leadership mean? And, how do we model it?
