N2 - This chapter reports on the development of the Curriculum Inclusivity Assessment Toolkit (CIAT)—a research-based and consultancy-driven resource, using an interactive format to address intersectional issues of equality, diversity, inclusion, equity, and decolonisation, through self-evaluation and resources for action. Using evidence and current debate and with the kind assistance of a range of representatives from different communities and groups, the toolkit provides prompts, guidance, information, and links to resources for all aspects of inclusivity (or as many as possible). Using self-evaluation questions, educators can use the toolkit to engage in learning about EDI in higher education, and immediately apply that learning in the context of their own role, to benefit their colleagues and students. Specifically, this chapter discusses the creation of the toolkit, its piloting and implementation, and the preliminary findings and impact, with specific reference to the ways in which staff have used it as part of their lifelong learning.
