Diversity and Anti-Racist Professional Learning

DARPL brings together a diverse team of providers with lived and professional experience through a professional learning and resource hub with a Welsh perspective in raising multi-disciplinary racial consciousness, as we all work together within the New Curriculum for Wales.

The new curriculum is an opportunity for significant change. Professional learning is key to realise this step-change.

Anti-racism professional learning in education

Professional learning for those working in education to develop an understanding and development of anti-racist practice

Our DARPL work centres on professional learning for those working in educational settings to develop delegates’ understanding of anti-racism, which should lead to a development of anti-racist practice. The professional learning has been developed to take into consideration the different roles of those working in educational settings and is tailored to support that.

Our vision is to ensure that those working within education develop the tools and carry out anti-racist practice that supports the aim of being an anti-racist Wales by 2030.

DARPL incorporates research, current examples, video clips and lived experience. During and following your engagement with DARPL, you will need to continue your own journey in professional learning individually, with your peers and with your learners.

DARPL aims to support practitioners start their journey in Anti-Racist Professional Learning, Cultural Competency and Race relations within education in Wales. Leaders, teachers, wider school staff and learners need to be supported in the start of their whole-school approaches so they continue in new ways of working to ensure Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic contributions and presence are embedded and sustained within our New Curriculum for Wales from September 2022 onwards.
