A very fun yet informative session. It makes you realise how using simple things e.g. books, pictures etc can promote understanding of such big important issues.

More confident to speak openly to our children about equality in school / society.

Very thought provoking and entertaining at the same time. Love the use of innocence of children's books to promote such a positive message. We will have further discussions as a staff as to how we embed things here following your positive example.

Thank you - that was brilliant!

The session was very informative whilst being fun.
