Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Hannah is passionate about gender equality. As a Deputy Headteacher she Co-Founded #WomenEd, a grassroots network, in April 2015. This has led to her speaking, writing, training and coaching individuals and groups of women. She has also led a number of the DfE’s Equality and Diversity Grants, developing large leadership development programmes for women in education.
Hannah speaks at conferences and national events about issues facing women who are existing and aspiring leaders, unpacking issues such as the Inner Critic, the Imposter Syndrome and the Glass Ceiling. She facilitates workshops on skills to navigate the societal, structural and systemic barriers such as visibility, self-advocacy, networking and negotiating.
Hannah is passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). As a Headteacher, she Co-Founded #DiverseEd, as an inclusive annual event to explore intersectional identities, in January 2018. This has led to her speaking, writing, training and coaching individuals and groups on the barriers and the solutions for DEI in schools. She has also led a number of the DfE’s Equality and Diversity Grants, developing large leadership development programmes for BAME leaders in education.
Hannah speaks at conferences and national events about leading a DEI strategy, leveraging your sphere of influence, transforming school culture, the role of governors and creating inclusive learning environments. She facilitates workshops on whole school approaches, inclusive behaviours and how to have courageous conversations about DEI to move the agenda forwards.
