Community Cohesion Training

DEED has a flexible, negotiable programme of training and support to help schools meet aspects of the requirement to promote Community Cohesion.

Using OFSTED guidelines, our training helps schools to plan high quality provision in this area.

Community Cohesion is defined by the Government as working towards a society in which there is a common vision and sense of belonging by all communities, in which the diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and valued.
