One of our new articles for October, by Liz Pemberton, asks us to think about how we talk about race with young children. Are we prepared for their curiosity?

All the sessions will be during the last week in June, and individuals don’t need to book onto all 3, but can choose which ones they would like to, or are able to, attend.
