Welcome to IELA, the Inclusion and Equity Leadership Association!
IELA was launched in September 2024 as a professional association for schools, organisations and staff committed to inclusion and equity.
IELA is part of Abitas Group. Abitas Group’s mission is to support young people, adults and organisations to be safe, well and included. We deliver services for 4,500 organisations and individuals in 50 countries.
The Group’s commitment to equity and inclusion has always been evident and is a consistent feature throughout all our associations. The diversity of its members as well as the diversity of the young people our schools look after is vast. Inclusion in all its form has been a key focus both within the group, its members and the societies we live in.
IELA supports excellence in equity and inclusion work and actively advocates for change through training, resources, networking and consultancy work.
