Candice W
(She/her)
Training Facilitator
Candice studied music, ancient history and classical studies at undergraduate level at the University of Liverpool before pursuing a Masters in Music at the same university and a PGCE in Secondary Music at Liverpool Hope University. Candice then spent over 8 years teaching music in various roles – as a secondary school music teacher, a peripatetic instrumental teacher, a primary school music teacher, and a director of extra-curricular music activities for young people.
Whilst working in music education Candice became more and more frustrated at the inequality of opportunity and lack of inclusion that exists within the Arts and began working on small projects to improve diversity and inclusion within her workplace. A passion for this work quickly developed and it was this passion that led her to a new role and a change of career.
Candice began her life at EqualiTeach as a Senior Education and Training officer where she delivered training to staff in schools and organisations, and workshops to young people, on a range of EDI issues. After a promotion to her current position as EDI Advisor, Candice now works more closely with schools, auditing their approach to EDI whilst they undertake an Equalities Award. Whilst Candice continues to deliver staff training and workshops in schools and organisations across the country, she enjoys the consultancy work that she now does with schools, helping them to further improve their EDI practices.
