How to use this self-evaluation approach to improve practice

This resource could be publicised to staff, parents and learners for support. It can also be used to highlight ‘religion and belief’ as a protected characteristic. Reflective questions might include:

• Are teaching and support staff aware of this resource?
• Are  learners aware of this resource: through PSHE, posters, assemblies etc?
• Are there aspects of this content which could be included in PSHE?
• In what ways can our learning community improve the ways that we celebrate the diversity of religions and cultures?

There is also a questionnaire which learners can fill in. They then receive tailored advice depending on their answers.
