Our GEC Platform has built data from 26,000+ students, teachers and staff across 30 countries to tell us what’s REALLY happening in schools.
This is so much more than just research. It’s a rally cry! If you’re ready to lead inclusion - for real - then this is where you start.
Our data will tell you
what’s happening in schools.

We listen to every voice
not just the loudest.
72% of staff who have never experienced lower socioeconomic status (SES) feel the most comfortable reporting exclusionary behaviour.
Over half of SEND students (56%) report feeling that their learning needs aren’t fully understood by teachers.
64% of students do not feel safe at school. Students from single-parent households are particularly affected.
62% of staff report feeling excluded due to their parent/carer status or pregnancy status, with
single parents experiencing one of the highest
levels of exclusion.
Over half of students (53%) either strongly disagree/ disagree that there’s a teacher who looks like someone in their family. Muslim students report the highest level of strong disagreement.
One third of Black students report feeling that their ethnic identity is not valued or recognised in the curriculum, leading to feelings of disengagement with the content and their sense of belonging.

Kaleidoscopic Data
The Framework You Didn’t Know You Needed
Built with schools. Backed by research. Powered by people who lead inclusion every day.
Because inclusion isn’t one-size-fits-all, our work is built on multi-dimensional insights by some of the brightest minds in education and research to ensure it’s rigorous, representative, and rooted in real-world practice.
Our approach has been:
Co-designed with schools and trusts — from primaries to large MATs
Informed by over 25,000 voices — students, teachers, leaders, staff
Built with experts from 5 leading UK universities and the largest collection of EDI experts in education - the GEC Circle
Tested by the largest education organisations out there including Institute of School Business Leaders (ISBL), Church of England Education and Nord Anglia Education
There should be an inclusion expert in every
classroom - and the GEC make it possible.
The GEC Platform puts lived experience, expert insight and real-time data into the
hands of every teacher, not just senior leaders or specialist roles.
This is what systemic support looks like.
“The GEC PLATFORM connects educators with experts, empowering others and opening doors for those who need it most.”
Harmeet Sahota, Executive Headteacher
This Is What Happens When You Really Listen…
The Global Equality Collective is more than a research project.
It’s a movement.
A community.
A platform for change.
And it works! Read our case studies here.
We’ve worked with leaders across the UK and beyond to co-design an inclusion framework that finally makes belonging visible, measurable — and real.
