I help schools on their inclusion journey.
Helping schools create inclusive cultures that celebrate racial and religious diversity.
ABOUT
My name is Talal Khan and I am an Education Consultant specialising in Inclusion. In my time working in the education industry, I have come to understand how out of reach academia can be for students holding protected characteristics. Without intentional work, many of these young people are left to create safety for themselves at the cost of their learning. Creating an environment that allows students to comfortably express their racial or religious identity whilst also being safe from any forms of racism and discrimination is not just a moral obligation to ensure equity, but also a legal requirement under the Equalities Act of 2010. I help schools on what can sometimes feel like a complex journey, sparking change through motivational keynote speaking, delivering training on how to structure inclusion work, and providing consultancy to help build effective strategy. Wherever you are on your inclusion journey, I can help.
SERVICES
Keynote Speaking
Inclusion work requires a spark that starts with winning hearts and minds. My keynote speaking sessions are a motivational call to action, an awareness building session designed to help your staff body feel moved to be part of the change.
Training
I provide a range of training packages that equip your staff with the framework and skills needed to build effective inclusion strategy. This can involve either working broadly with your leadership team or more specifically with individual department heads.
Consultancy
I provide a range of reactive, proactive and ongoing advisory services that allow me to be a critical friend to your school in both a short and long-term capacity. I can provide rapid support during difficult moments, conduct audits and action plans, or help you monitor progress with periodic check-ins.

His ability to challenge, think deeply and find solutions is superb and I would recommend him wholeheartedly. His approach to staff training is thorough, conscientious and thoughtful, helping staff to look through a different lens, yet he remains humane and patient in his approach.

"As Head of Department for History, I found your session so inspiring and empowering. Many of us in education want to ensure our work reaches all but find ourselves a little lost and perhaps apprehensive to approach inclusion work. Your training has provided a clear roadmap on how everyone can play their part and I leave much more hopeful about the difference my department can make."
