Our achievements in 2012/13
Nationally:
National Better For Everyone project (www.betterforeveryone.wordpress.com), funded through LSIS involved 4 regions working together to embed equality outcomes into Teaching Learning and Assessment.
Revised Association mission, vision and values includes explicit reference to equality (include here). 85.2% of respondents in the WEAs 2013 staff survey agreed or strongly agreed that the WEA has incorporated ED principles into its core values and beliefs.
Improvements made to website, use of social media and production of videos to reflect this message (links here)
