鈥�’Wear red day’ is an important chance for us all to show that we are not going to accept racism in our听college. This comes at a time when our Government in Wales is developing an equality plan to achieve the vision of ‘A Wales that is Anti-racist by 2030’. We all need to play our part to achieve that and our affiliation to the BFELG and working with them is a commitment to anti-racism that I am proud to have made.鈥�听
