Collaboration

Ambition

Research Sharing

Stay informed with the latest research and evidence-based strategies that are shaping inclusive leadership globally. As part of the ILA, you will contribute to and benefit from cutting-edge research that directly informs how inclusion can be implemented and sustained in educational institutions and in cross sector organisations.

Local Area Hubs

The ILA encourages the creation of local area hubs where members can collaborate in person and online. These hubs will foster partnerships between education providers at all phases and other sector organisations, helping leaders to share innovative practices and address local challenges collectively.

Professional Development

Engage in high-quality professional learning opportunities, including webinars and conferences. These events are designed to deepen your understanding of inclusive leadership, provide you with practical tools for your institution, and inspire you to challenge ‘value misaligned’ practice.

Roundtables & Policy Consultations

Participate in exclusive roundtable discussions and policy consultations where you can engage with fellow leaders, policymakers, and researchers. These forums provide a platform for you to shape the future of inclusive leadership and practice across education and other public, third and private sector organisations by influencing policy and modelling practice.

We envision a world where inclusivity is at the heart of leadership.

Our mission is to empower and support leaders across sectors that impact education: schools, local communities, local authorities, public sector organisations, third sector and business.

We want environments where every child, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance, can flourish. We are committed to fostering a network of leaders who champion inclusive values and embed them into everyday practices within local communities, organisations and education settings.

Our Mission

Empower and support leaders across schools, local communities, local authorities, and both public & private sector organisations.
