Equitable education, neuroinclusion and intersectionality consultancy

A warm welcome to you. I am Yasmin Darling. I put my lived, professional and academic knowledge of 30 years to work to create positive and impactful change, supporting and advancing equity and agency in alignment with the equality act 2010, SEND  code 2015 and the UNCRC (United Nations Rights of the Child). 

I am passionate about working with educational settings, organisations, individuals, families and more to empower, educate, advocate and change-make to advance life opportunities individually, collectively and systemically.

You may be an organisation looking to create or improve your new EDI policy and want to ensure it is authentically neuroinclusive and any other ‘protected characteristic’ of the equality Act 2010, or resolve a ‘live issue’ in the right way with the right person. 

You may be an education provider wanting to improve your overall SEND offer and/or make your whole setting neuroinclusive, neuro-affirming and ‘rights respecting and responsive across the board, solving issues along the way. 

You may be a parent of a neurodivergent/disabled child who needs professional support to navigate the SEND and education system. You or your child may be experiencing disability discrimination, going through the EHCP process, or experiencing another challenge that requires independent SEND expertise and an understanding of intersectionality of disability rights in its interconnectedness to other forms of discrimination such as race, gender, homophobia and more. 

However you need to move forward, I am committed to working diligently to support you every step of the way to navigate through to the outcome you need in accordance with UK law. 

My consultancy work is rooted in a strengths-based, rights-focused approach that is respectful, anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive. I carry out my work with professionalism, humour, commitment and warmth, and always in a neuro-affirming way and without judgement.
