Mission Statement
Diversity Role Models is a dynamic charity whose vision is a world where everyone embraces diversity and can thrive. Our mission is to end bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools and promote understanding and acceptance of broader individual differences. Collaboratively, we’re determined to create inclusive learning environments where young people know they are valued and supported, regardless of their differences. Our experienced team of educators and inspiring volunteer role models deliver in-person and online workshops for students in schools and colleges. Using pioneering educational content underpinned by the power of storytelling, we speak openly about lived experiences of difference and bullying. Our volunteer role models are at the heart of our delivery. They share their journeys towards living happy and fulfilling lives to inspire others. Since our formation in 2011, we have worked directly with 1,000+ schools, delivered sessions to 200,000+ young people, and trained 24,000+ school staff members. Our workshops educate young people about diversity. They empower them to recognise and embrace differences in others. During the workshops, we demonstrate how students can support each other and act as upstanders rather than bystanders by challenging bullying and inappropriate language or behaviour. Our workshops have an impact: • 96% of primary pupils said they would respect people who are different to them more (DRM, Impact Report, 2022-23) • 83% of primary pupils and 52% of secondary students said they would feel more confident in challenging bullying or inappropriate language. (DRM, Impact Report, 2022-23) • 97% of school staff said the training increased their understanding of diversity and difference and how to tackle and prevent bullying. (Embracing Difference Ending Bullying Impact Report 2023) In addition to delivering workshops, we develop invaluable educational resources for teachers, governors, parents/carers, and communities. Through a holistic approach to a young person’s educational environment, we strive to create safe and inclusive spaces. With this collaborative method, we are empowering a future generation that understands, respects, and embraces people’s differences.
