Systemic change, designed by someone who has lived it.
Equitable education and neuroinclusion consultancy. Rights-based, psychodynamically-informed, unapologetically human.
I am Yasmin Darling — a Systemic Equity Architect, equitable education consultant, and neuroinclusion specialist with over 30 years of lived and professional experience. I work with schools, organisations, and public bodies ready to move beyond compliance toward authentic, measurable, rights-based change. My practice sits at the intersection of the Equality Act 2010, the SEND Code of Practice 2015, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and psychodynamic clinical training. It is grounded in three decades of direct work with children, families, educators, and policymakers — and in my own life as a mixed-race, disabled, AuDHD woman and parent.
Education Settings
Nurseries, schools, colleges, and alternative provision ready to build genuinely neuroinclusive environments. I offer whole-setting audits, SEND and Equality Act compliance reviews, bespoke training, and strategic consultancy rooted in the SEND Code of Practice 2015 and neuro-affirming pedagogy.
Organisations and Companies
Public bodies, charities, and private organisations seeking authentic EDI and neuroinclusion practice that moves culture, policy, and outcomes. I support leadership teams to understand systemic barriers, meet their Equality Act duties, and build workplaces where neurodivergent and disabled staff thrive.
Speaking, Writing and Media
Keynotes, conference talks, panels, podcasts, articles, and policy writing. I have spoken at parliamentary reviews, the Royal College of GPs, and sector conferences. My voice brings together lived experience, clinical training, and three decades of frontline and strategic practice.
