Promoting diversity and inclusivity in schools is crucial for creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all students. One of the most sensitive and critical aspects of this is allowing students to identify their gender and capturing this information in a manner that respects their identity.
As the Department of Education continues to review its reporting requirements, schools can take proactive steps to ensure that their Management Information System (MIS) supports their students in this regard. At Furlong, we understand the importance of this issue and have implemented several measures to help schools in their efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity.
Our customisable MIS provides schools with the tools they need to store and use each student's gender identity and preferred pronouns appropriately. Here's how SchoolBase supports schools in this regard:
We are committed to supporting schools in promoting diversity and inclusivity. We will continue to monitor the progress of the DfE reporting requirements and update our system accordingly to ensure that our MIS is always in line with the latest guidelines and best practices. By implementing these measures, schools can create a safe and supportive environment for all students and promote mental health and well-being.
