Every care has been taken to ensure the information and any recommendations on race equity and anti-racism resources are accurate at the time of publishing. Schools must make their own judgements when sharing our recommendations with staff, parents, and carers and, where appropriate, always risk assess with their pupils and whole school community in mind.
