Our mission and vision
BAMEed South London, is a grassroots network aimed at ensuring our diverse communities are represented as a substantive part of the education workforce for teachers and leaders in education. We seek to learn from each other and actively include all ethnicities through our ABC (Anti-Racism, Best Practice & Collaboration) framework. This network is an open invitation to ALL.
Our aims
Anti- Racism – Supporting colleagues in connecting with other practitioners to diversify, decolonise and inclusivise, to be able to create an anti-racist curriculum. Additionally, empowering colleagues to be able to have a voice against racism in their educational setting to create strategic change at the level of governance, recruitment practices and policy-making
Best Practice – Support colleagues at all levels of their career to continue to develop good practice within various aspects of the school, including both teaching and learning, pastoral and leadership. Additionally, providing a space for colleagues to showcase the work they are doing both inside and outside the classroom.
Collaboration – Support colleagues in connecting with other practitioners through both online and in-person events, creating a brave and safe space lead with purpose. Additionally, we aim to work closely with other local networks and organisations to support colleagues through their journey, teaching and learning.
