The ASE Inclusion in Schools programme and the Institute of Physics’ Limit Less campaign both aim to increase diversity in STEM by implementing whole-school equity plans. This week, as the IOP shared their objectives at a drop-in event at the Houses of Parliament hosted by Selaine Saxby MP, the ASE Inclusion team was on hand to demonstrate what a whole-school equity plan looks like in practice, and how a focus on inclusion can help to engage students who are underrepresented in STEM.

First-hand accounts were shared by teachers from two of the participating IIS institutions, while everyone was greatly impressed by a team of students from Mortimer Community College – another IIS school - who spoke confidently about how important inclusion is in schools and the difference it makes to them.
