As schools report rising incidents of overt misogyny, racism and LGBTQ+ prejudice, Democratising Schools is an eye-opening book to challenge and change mindsets and practice. Far from providing a quick-fix, knee jerk response, the book is about responding to these challenges positively to change culture: providing the tools and rationale for schools and individual practitioners to become truly inclusive, more informed and less prejudiced.

Part 1 unpicks the causes of misogyny, racism, transphobia and homophobia, offering a thought-provoking introduction to and understanding of their systemic nature. Part 2 sets out five key principles for effecting lasting change and shows how they can be practically embedded to help schools and school systems become truly equitable and inclusive. Each principle is supported by case studies to show how a school has proactively sought to tackle one or more of these issues.

Showing how each and every school and school member can help undermine discrimination and the categorisations that perpetuate injustice, this is essential reading for teachers, school leaders and support staff.
