"in order to understand other people's identity, we need to understand our own". We all have a role to play in helping children and young people understand and make sense of their identity.

An amazing start to our @rcslt Looked-After Children's CEN this morning with Ineke Houtenbos from @NSPCCLearning @NSPCCNI. From understanding terminology to thinking practically what we can do as #SLTs to understand & support under-represented colleagues and families. #MySLTday

[Victoria Crooks @vcrooksslt]

It's come around quickly! Tomorrow is our Looked-after children's @RCSLT CEN study day talking anti-racism with @nspcc & how we can support black and ethnic minority care-experienced children.

@IlyehNahdiSLT @RCSLT @NSPCC @whatworksCSC @DiverSLT @OfSlts @rcslt_bulletin Hi, some parts will be recorded but our paid trainers can't all be unfortunately. We will have handouts though. If there's any part you can attend that you'd like to e.g if you can just come for an hour, you'd be very welcome.🙂
