This requires us to think deeply and purposefully about the design of our curriculum to ensure that it is representative of the diversity of students and provides equal access to the curriculum for each of them. The Liverpool Curriculum Framework uses the term “inclusivity” to encompass the broad activity of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).
