EDI Toolkit: Towards diverse and inclusive content delivery

This toolkit is intended to support all who design and deliver teaching in the School of Medicine in considering how equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) can be increasingly embedded throughout the course.

Alongside EDI-specific teaching sessions, we would like to ensure EDI-related topics are threaded through all areas of the curriculum. Many of us find it difficult to know where to start, which is why this toolkit was created. 

The toolkit covers four themes with a set of questions and suggested actions for each area, designed to support reflection and development of what we teach and how we teach it.

The importance and relevance of each area will vary depending on your specialty/theme and mode of delivery. The areas are not designed to be approached in a step-wise fashion but to offer different perspectives and ideas and to invite reflection and dialog. They can be worked through systematically or by focusing on individual pertinent sections.

EDI is a complex and constantly evolving area. Language use and social circumstances change and we hope this Toolkit will grow and develop to reflect this. Please get in touch if you have any feedback, any suggestions for additional reflective questions and actions or any good EDI examples from your own practice using the links below.
