SUMMARY:Midlands Inclusion and Belonging Summit
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date! \nJoin us for our Midlands Inclusion and Belonging Summit\, hosted at Burton and South Derbyshire College. This flagship event brings together school and college leaders\, educators\, support staff\, and apprenticeship providers to translate inclusive vision into measurable impact. \nAligned closely with current regulatory guidance\, the summit focuses on meeting the needs of all learners and embedding a culture of true belonging across primary\, secondary\, post-16\, and apprenticeship provision. \nLearn directly from practitioners\, specialists\, and national experts to gain evidence-informed\, practical insights. You will return to your organisation equipped to ensure your classroom and workplace delivery provides high-quality education\, strong personal development\, and positive outcomes for every learner. \n  \nWhy this summit matters now \nMeeting regulatory requirements and national guidance is vital\, with true impact going far beyond compliance.  Today’s providers  must demonstrate how a culture of inclusion and learner wellbeing is embedded across every aspect of delivery. \nThis summit offers a dedicated space to learn\, collaborate\, and address key challenges: \n\nDefining Belonging: What does a genuinely inclusive setting look like across classroom and work-based environments?\nDriving Outcomes: How do inclusive cultures systematically improve attendance\, behaviour\, and academic achievement?\nSustaining Engagement: How do we protect vulnerable learners during key transition points?\n\n  \nBy focusing on belonging as a driver for success\, this event offers guidance and support\, enabling you to create spaces where all learners can become more confident\, stay focused and reach their full potential. \n  \nA joined-up conversation across education and training \nOne of the defining strengths of this summit is its focus on cross-phase perspectives. With inclusion not resetting when a learner transitions between primary and secondary education\, or into college or onto an apprenticeship\, neither should our approaches. \nThroughout the day\, you will gain practical strategies and learn directly from \n\n\nSchool leaders and inclusion specialists \n\n\nCollege and post-16 practitioners \n\n\nApprenticeship providers and workplace learning specialists \n\n\nResearchers\, sector experts\, and national charities \n\n\nTogether we will explore how consistency and embedded approaches to empathy\, purpose\, and a culture of belonging can support learners across all key stages and post-16 provision\, particularly at critical points of transition where disengagement\, outside influences and vulnerability are most likely. \n  \nWhat you’ll gain from attending \nWith an agenda that is designed to drive real change through practical\, thought-provoking concepts\, those attending will: \n\nGain clear\, evidence-informed strategies you can apply immediately\nDevelop a deeper understanding of how belonging underpins behaviour\, attendance and wellbeing\nStrengthen your confidence in responding to broader regulatory and quality assurance expectations\nLearn how to better support disadvantaged learners and those with additional needs\nConnect with peers across primary\, secondary\, post-16\, and apprenticeship settings facing similar challenges.\n\n  \nYou will leave not only inspired\, but equipped with impactful tools\, language and strategies that can be shared across your teams. \n  \nA whole-community approach to inclusion \nA central theme of the summit is that belonging cannot be created solely by one role or a department\, instead it is a multi-faceted approach with contributions vital from key stakeholders including: \n\nEducators and leaders\nPastoral and support teams\nParents and carers\nLearners themselves\nEmployers\, communities\, and other external partners\n\n  \nWhat to expect on the day \nThis event will focus on real-world insights from experts and providers\, with a particular focus the importance of positive transitions\, social mobility and current challenges.
