It's half-term, so in place of the weekly brief, HEP has released another episode of HEP Talks! In this episode, Luke Kemper, HEP Insight and Intelligence Lead, talks to Marva Rollins, a HEP School Improvement Partner and member of the Racial Equity Steering Group, about racial inequality in education. Topics covered include National Foundation for Education Research report titled “Racial equality in the teacher workforce", the earlier report of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, and what Marva herself, along with HEP, do to combat racism and inequalities in education.

There is a newly released blog post on HEP's website called Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Education and Beyond that gives background information and complements this podcast. In it, we analysed racial disparities in Haringey and compared them to the national figures. Please feel free to give it a read using the link above. We'll be back next week on Monday with The Brief, and more HEP Talks episodes coming soon!
