COLEG CAMBRIA reaffirmed its commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) through a series of events that brought staff together to share ideas, reflect on practice, and celebrate progress.

Two landmark activities were led by Miranda Hazell, Specialist Teacher and Lead on Inclusion Training, and Fairness and Belonging Lead Alice Churm, giving colleagues fresh opportunities to learn and collaborate.

The Inclusion Roadshow provided a platform for staff across campuses to showcase innovative inclusive practice. Curriculum and support teams presented displays and interactive activities, highlighting strategies that reduce barriers for learners and encourage a culture of kindness, respect and belonging.

Meanwhile, the Progressing Equality Conference focused on equipping the college’s progress coaches with practical tools to embed inclusion into everyday conversations with students.

They explored how small but consistent actions can make a big difference in ensuring all learners feel “encouraged, empowered and enabled”. 

Reflecting on these achievements, Lizzie Stevens, Director of Inclusion and Progress, praised the dedication of staff across the college: “These events demonstrate how our staff are working collectively to create environments where all learners can flourish.

“It is not just about policies or one-off projects, but about embedding inclusion into everything we do – from teaching and learning to wellbeing and support.

“By sharing good practice, listening to learners, and challenging ourselves to do more, we are building a college culture where everyone feels they belong and can achieve their full potential. That is what true inclusion means, and it is at the heart of Coleg Cambria.”

Building on this momentum, the college confirmed planning has begun for its first Inclusion Education Conference, scheduled to take place towards the end of the academic year.

The expo will bring together educators, practitioners and sector leaders to share research, showcase innovation, and celebrate progress in inclusive learning, wellbeing and equality.
