Description

In this episode Karl and Roma discuss The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities Report, it's impact and whether we can really measure racial discrimination.  We also talk about the power of representation.
We are absolutely delighted to be joined by Adrian McLean, known to many on twitter as @Character_guy and is a powerful voice when it comes to inclusivity and representation. Adrian shares his years of experience as a head and now a Trust Leader and leaves Karl and Roma speechless with his wisdom! We know anyone listening whether in education or not will benefit from the gems that Adrian shares.
