EDI Review for Schools


An academically grounded, trauma-informed review of equality, diversity, and inclusion in your school.

Independent, evidence-based evaluation 

Chattan Harbour’s EDI Review for Schools provides an independent, research-led evaluation of how equality, diversity, and inclusion are experienced across your community.
Rooted in academic methodology and national compliance standards, the review moves beyond positionality to deliver clear, impartial evidence for leadership and governance.

Principles of EDI

The review explores how EDI principles are embedded in:

  • Governance and leadership
  • Staff culture and professional learning
  • Curriculum and pedagogy
  • Pupil experience
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Policy and compliance

It addresses both statutory compliance and lived experience, linking school practice to the Equality Act 2010, the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), and sector-leading ethical research frameworks.

Each review is designed and delivered by experienced education professionals trained in trauma-informed and ethical research.
