The Diversity and Inclusion Champions have a very critical role in our community. We strive to be seen and heard as the voice of the student body.
Our mission as Diversity and Inclusion Champions has recently been clarified, aiming to provide security amongst our peers, representing the College by driving forward pupil ideas, and promoting diversity and inclusion within our community. We are here to celebrate differences between people and to help everyone understand the strength that comes from diversity.
This term we have been focusing on how to make Lancing a more diverse and inclusive space, where everyone would feel equally comfortable and confident. We have thought about the challenges that Lancing might be facing now and are offering potential solutions. We have reflected on the success of Black History Month, and have been working on the organisation of the upcoming events. In canvassing feedback from the College community, we are actively seeking ways to improve representation around the school; for example, representation of women and POC staff around the College in the form of painting, pictures, portraits etc.
Recruiting new Champions to the group has also been an important point of the discussions during the meetings, as everyone is welcome to become a Champion. We aspire to increase our number of Champions to be more representative of all ages, races, genders and sexualities of the school, so we hope that more people who are passionate about inclusivity and strive for change will feel encouraged to sign up for it.
