The Inclusive Curriculum tool (ICT) is, at its simplest, a reflective tool to support colleagues to consider if the course material that they are creating embodies EDIA principles and Sustainability in the context of assessment and the broader learner journey. The ICT's three aims:

1. To make material accessible to diverse groups of students (not just in terms of accessibility for disabled students but also in terms of the language and images used)
2. To represent diverse groups of students in the material
3. To equip students to participate in a global and diverse world

The ICT is designed to support deeper consideration and discussion of inclusion when designing and creating learning materials or reviewing existing module material. The ICT is not a checklist. It provides prompts to help colleagues reflect but does not give answers. Guidance Notes with examples are included for the prompts and there is space for colleagues to record issues that they notice about the course material they are reflecting on, suggest actions, and note good practice as they work through their learning materials. Examples of two of the prompts can be found within the linked example.
