Yasmin Omar is a national and international award-winning behaviour specialist, with experience as a senior leader and science teacher in mainstream secondary schools and Pupil Referral Units, where she trains teachers to manage behaviour using inclusive strategies, inspired by her work advocating for excluded pupils, which began in her teens. The inclusive strategies she created for her own classroom are now used by teachers in schools across England.

She is passionate about equity in education; as a trainee teacher, Yasmin won a landmark discrimination court case against a school previously praised by the Prime Minister and has since dedicated much of her time to promote and train school staff on supporting teachers based on protected characteristics, resulting in widespread improvement of working conditions for teachers with long term medical conditions.

She is an experienced Presenter and hosts a weekly radio show covering the biggest topics in education. She delivers annual lectures at University College London, is a national feature for U.K. Disability History Month, Black History Month, was interviewed about permanent exclusions for Human Rights Day, Invisible Illnesses for Tiny Talks Podcast, delivered training on protected characteristics for Diverse Ed, where her contributions are used by Teach First for trainee teachers. Her work with young people in prisons was turned into a theatre production at Edinburgh Film Festival in 2023, rated five stars by the Guardian, and in the same year, was contacted by the BBC to shape a Panorama episode on vaping in schools.

She is also dedicated to storytelling through content creation on Youtube and Tiktok, and recently launched a podcast called Get On My Nerves, based on her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, intended to educate the wider community on the science of self-care and self-belief.
