Be Ready (Reflection) – Assembly this week

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Terry and Charlie back in to school. Terry has been coming in to school for over 10 years and has a super relationship with our school. We are the only school he now visits so we are very fortunate. We invite Terry in to reinforce the children’s understanding on the protected characteristics and that we should not discriminate due to disability. Terry came in to raise awareness of blind people in the community and his experiences of when he has visited other countries. He even told the children that some countries do not believe he is blind unless he wears dark glasses. He also talked about the discrimination he has faced due to the fact that he has a guide dog. He has not been able to ride some public transport and not allowed in some buildings. A great assembly and a great way to break down barriers for the children
