Overview
This four-part training course has been commissioned to support school, early years and local authority leaders to respond to the issues pertaining to race equity – including those highlighted by the death of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matters protests. It aims to ensure that leaders are informed about research and current practice in the area of cultural competence and will specifically look at:

·         Key factors in the persistent underachievement of Black Caribbean pupils
·         Leadership on equality issues.
·         Unconscious bias and micro-aggressions: How background, personal experiences, stereotypes and cultural context impact on decisions and actions without you realising.
·         Introduction to Racial Identity Theory and Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome
·         Strategies for developing cultural competence within organisations

   -  all early years settings
