Webinar – Why anti-racist practice is important in the early years

Liz Pemberton

Recorded webinar 

As children are developing their sense of self and beginning to understand the people in the communities around them and in the wider world, it is our job to help them to do this positively. We need to acknowledge that the wider structural and systemic effects of racism impact children of the global majority disproportionately. This talk will highlight the importance of embedding an anti-racist approach throughout all elements of early years practice and why children need to see themselves reflected in the books that they see and have read to them.

Audience

This webinar is aimed at anyone involved with young children, either professionals or parents.

Liz’s mission is to continue to promote inclusive practice in the Early Years sector, with a particular focus on how race, culture and ethnicity should be considered in this practice.
