Commitment and Leadership

ESDGC can provide a framework to help headteachers manage change and create a positive ethos. Leaders in ESDGC are also needed at all levels in a school, but the demonstration of commitment to ESDGC by headteachers and senior leaders in schools is essential for ESDGC to be successfully implemented.

This area contains documents and publications released by the Welsh Assembly Government, DFID and Estyn supporting the development of ESDGC in schools.
