Black Lives Matter student resource launched

The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust has launched a new resource to help students learn and make sense of recent protests as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Recent tragic events in America and the response in the UK has demonstrated the strength of feeling across the UK about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Many students are currently isolated from their usual school environment where they would have the opportunity to talk about and explore the issues raised.

The resource, We all have the power to make a difference, is designed to cover in brief some of the key issues in the news recently with links to further resources to support conversations and learning. It can be used by students on their own or guided by a teacher, parent or carer.

The resources are not set out by age, so teachers, parents and carers should review them first to ensure that the language and content are appropriate to the age of the young person/people they are supporting.
