"Even though London has the most diverse teaching workforce, it lags so far behind the capital’s minority ethnic pupil population that the gap is the widest in England."

Learning the perspectives for the first time?
Hopefully these will help you get your head around the key concepts! 😍

Young people should be able to thrive in school, without fear of being discriminated against because of their hair.

We've published resources which will help schools end hair discrimination and be inclusive places for all.

We celebrate schools that celebrate their pupils 🎉

This is my old care taker Dave. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. Always went above and beyond for everyone.
I promised to take him out for the day once he retired and he has now so here we are! Schools caretakers are V.I.P’s. Look after them 😊

"This includes eliminating any practice that discourages or subjects African pupils to disciplinary procedures for wearing afros, braids, or any other natural hairstyle chosen by the specific pupil."
Something that needs addressing globally as Europeans left colonial rules 😔

I got sacked in the late 80s for wearing a Free Nelson Mandela pin to work. (Not at work. The pin was on my coat.)

Examples given of fitting in included altering clothing and hairstyles, speech patterns and being expected to join workmates at the pub after work"
