Following the recent events in the USA and the murder of George Floyd, KC have gathered together a range of resources to help our students stay informed.

#TeamKC does not tolerate racism, discrimination or prejudice. 

We have a responsibility to each other to fight against discrimination, exclusion and prejudice and to work together to create a more accepting and inclusive world. 

It’s never too late to cultivate change, empathy and education.

Below is by no means a comprehensive list, and we will be aiming to update these resources regularly. Please contact Marketing on marketing@kidderminster.ac.uk if you would like to contribute or add resources.
