The Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Race Equality in Education, would like to invite you to ‘A discussion on school discipline and exclusions’ taking place on Tuesday 8th June at 6pm, online.

The event is being held in support of all children and students who have experienced racism in education, and who have been brave enough to use their voice to speak out. It will also provide a forum to discuss the future of school discipline and exclusions, and the education agenda more broadly.

Speakers include:

▪ Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP – Chair of the APPG for Race Equality in Education

▪ Rt Hon David Simmonds MP - Officer of the APPG for Race Equality in Education, and current member of the House of Commons Education Committee

▪ Rt Hon Kim Johnson MP - Officer of the APPG for Race Equality in Education, and current member of the House of Commons Education Committee

▪ L’myah Sherae – Founder of the APPG for Race Equality in Education

▪ Carolyn Osbourne – Specialist Education Law Solicitor

▪ Michelle De Leon - Founder of World Afro Day

▪ Emmanuel Onapa - Communications Lead at 4Front Project

We will also be joined by our guest speaker, Ruby Williams, who has spoken out about being repeatedly sent home from her former school because of her afro hair.
