Please take a moment to hear from Doreen, a Barnardos SEEN ambassador. At the House of Lords this Monday she delivered her Maiden Speech, with other young people. This was enabled and by the Speakers Trust. Great things happen when we work together and young people take the stage

Thank you @Sarahcrawley18 for being here to launch our Children Visible by Colour report in Cornwall. The report outlines the experiences of Children & racism with action points to be piloted in Cornish schools. So many professionals in the room, we are feeling hopeful.

Our Ambassadors Aya & Taleen explain why the project was important: “When young people feel heard & understood, it can help them reach their goals. By sharing their identity they can help professionals understand their hopes, needs, & wishes better.” #identityinassessments

Cllr Sajid Mohammed “We have to acknowledge there are people in our city who are not starting at the same line as others. We must not be afraid to say the system is institutionally racist. We need to unite on a common platform of justice. I recognise we need to do better”

This is so disappointing to hear, but sadly not surprising. Exactly why organisations like @thehalocltv are lobbying for Black hair to be a protective characteristic and why the Black Hair and Skin project that I lead for @we_are_seen_ @barnardos is so necessary.
