Another successful delivery of 'Tackling #Microaggressions', with @bcot corporate staff.
We're dedicated to combating discrimination, particularly in relation to #antiracism. We looked at: frames of reference, biases, experiences, calling out, and addressing being called out
*humble brag* I'm really proud of my involvement in the 'outstanding' rating we have received in Personal Development. I work with key players @bcot to create weekly content and materials that are relevant and meaningful #Lovefe#loveourcolleges
We are delighted that the College has received its best-ever Ofsted rating to date, confirming our excellence in building the careers of tomorrow by providing rich and diverse educational programmes that empower our students to thrive.

@HollyHuntProf said: "I've loved using @canva in my lessons this week. Our Educational subscription has enabled students to really stretch their designs and produce some fantastic work. They're learning how to communicate effective messages via a visual medium."
@HollyHuntProf said: 'I asked our RAP tutors how Week 1 of our student Anti-Racism training went. They said it's been a huge success. One video left them in stunned silence. The tutors said that these slides have been the best ones delivered so far this year! FYI @Anthonybravo!"
