Aberdeen branch event – Equality, Race & Unconscious Bias

This session, led by Dr. Stella Louis, invites you to explore whether you are doing everything that you can to ensure that all children have the opportunity to develop a positive sense of self, self-identity, self-esteem and respect for others.

It encourages practitioners to reflect on personal attitudes, feelings, preconceptions, and tendencies to be biased. This session provides practitioners with the time and space to examine their own attitude and awareness and reflect on those in their schools and settings.
