A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive and where difference is valued and celebrated. These are worthy goals, but we know there is much work…

Last month flew by. I can’t believe the clocks have changed and our evenings are drawing in ever more, with curtains closing and lights going on a little earlier each day. I think it is still too early to mention the ‘C’ word but, I will confess to already baking my first batch of mince…
