Our commitment
AI Explorers Academy believes that every child deserves the opportunity to explore and create with technology. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do.
What this means
- We welcome children regardless of disability, sex, gender identity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, background or prior experience.
- We will make reasonable adjustments so children with additional learning needs or disabilities can take part, and we'll discuss needs confidentially with families.
- Our curriculum and illustrations will reflect a wide range of people and perspectives.
- We teach children explicitly about bias in AI and why fairness matters.
- We will recruit fairly, based on suitability for the role.
- We will tackle discriminatory language or behaviour promptly.
Languages across the UK
We recognise the importance of the UK's languages, including Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish. As we grow, we aim to offer information — and, where possible, sessions — that respect the language needs of the schools and communities we work with, including meeting any Welsh-language expectations of schools in Wales.
Widening access
As we develop, we hope to work with community partners and sponsors to make our programmes accessible to children who might otherwise miss out.
Legal framework
We will meet our obligations under the equality legislation that applies in each nation, including the Equality Act 2010 in England, Wales and Scotland, and the relevant equality legislation in Northern Ireland.
