The Inclusive Training Playbook for Higher Education: 100+ Tips on How to Embed Inclusivity Into Your Practice

The Inclusive Training Playbook for Higher Education is an essential resource that offers over 100 practical ways to make training sessions more inclusive for learners from underrepresented and marginalised groups.

Drawing on the expertise of equity, diversity, and inclusivity (EDI) specialists, experienced trainers, and contributors with lived experiences of discrimination, this playbook provides clear, concise, and actionable tips to foster inclusivity and belonging in academic learning spaces. Covering key topics such as race and ethnicity, LGBTQI+, faith and belief, gender, neurodiversity, disability, international student belonging, carers, and social mobility, this playbook is organised into thematic chapters that address critical aspects of training. These include curriculum design, accessibility, facilitation techniques, inclusive delivery styles, decolonial strategies, and creating environments that promote belonging. Each chapter explores the gap between inclusive teaching literature and practical training advice and focuses on empowering trainers to confidently address the needs of minoritised individuals and integrate EDI principles into their sessions.

Whether you are designing content, developing doctoral curricula and courses, or refining delivery methods, this resource is a must-read for anyone committed to making higher education training inclusive, accessible, and impactful.
