Who are we 

We are the Differential Attainment team, focused on tackling unexplained variation in performance and achievement between groups who share a protected characteristic and those who do not share the same characteristic, for example, ethnicity, gender, upbringing, neurodiversity and disability.

Our aim is to improve the training experience in East of England by addressing issues which fall under the Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity umbrella.

Our key projects aimed to mitigate differential attainment in the East of England are detailed below.
