Stephen and I chatted with early years educator and SENCO Fifi Benham in this podcast. Fifi provided opportunities for reflection, and practical thoughts on what to look for in your book provision, the language we use, and having discussions about gender-based statements with children. Fifi has also written some reflective and thoughtful blog posts for the LGBTQIA+ Early Years online publication.

Jack and Jules chat with Latifa Akay and Emily Mason about Maslaha’s Schools with Roots Project. They discuss the impact of our Eurocentric Curriculum, the need for sustainable anti-racist practice in schools, the different ways schools can engage with their families and communities and the benefits of that engagement for families, staff and children. There are some practical suggestions on how to work together and with inclusion, with families and communities.
