the word:

"Bandi" means "imprisoned"
"Chorr" means "release"
"Divas" means "day"

together "Bandi Chorr Divas" celebrating the release of the Sixth Guru from prison who also helped save the lives of 52 princes. a positive way out from a dark situation.

For many Hindus, Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is the Festival of Lights and is celebrated every year as the spiritual “victory of light over darkness”

#HappyDiwali

May this Diwali bring even more brighter lights to your life.

It's so important for us to be the change we want to see by broadening children's views. We can do this by:
- exposing them to books that talk positively about skin colour and identity
- using positive and inclusive language when describing racial or cultural heritage 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏼

[Speech & Language Therapy at CLCH @CLCH_SLT_CHD]

Fantastic selection of children's books to support conversations on race and diversity 📚🤓 Children can't be who they can't see 💫 #DiversityandInclusion

[Speech & Language Therapy at CLCH @CLCH_SLT_CHD]

Talking to children about race is not the easiest of things. Are they too young to understand? What words should we use to explain such a complex issue?

Take a look at some awesome top tips from @bbc_thp 😀💫

[Quality Improvement at CLCH @CLCH_QI]

What if we look at inclusion & belonging as a strategy and diversity as an outcome? Instead of striving for a diverse workforce, we drive for an inclusive workforce/place where people feel they belong which inturn can create greater diversity. https://t.co/V5dGKQ3N75
