We have developed quality indicators that are important to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in education and training. We developed these indicators through stakeholder engagement, to provide helpful advice and guidance for education providers and others when applying our standards of education and training (SETs).
What the indicators are
The indicators are intended to be a guide for education providers to more fully understand requirements in our SETs, to more explicitly link them to EDI. We will use them as a reference point when undertaking assessments against our standards, to ensure our assessments are appropriately focused and consistent. We consider that when these indicators are in place, education providers will be performing well in this area.
What the indicators are not
The indicators are not standards, and we will not hold education providers to meeting them. We recognise that not all indicators can be met by all education providers or programmes, and / or that you may reasonably take different approaches.
How you can use the indicators
We encourage education providers to consider the indicators when developing your approaches to EDI in education. You may choose to use these indicators as a reference point to measure yourselves against, and use any gaps to further develop in this area.
Feedback form
We encourage education providers to share feedback on what support and subject areas would be most helpful for additional resources by filling in the feedback form below.
We hosted a webinar which set out information for education providers. You can watch the recording of the webinar below.
