Talking about race with young people

Podcast

Sophia Coles, Associate in the Farrer & Co Race Equality Taskforce within the Safeguarding Unit, speaks to Anu Omideyi, the founder of Difficult Discussions Easy Songs, about how we can open up positive conversations with children about race, identity and other sensitive issues. Anu talks about the unique power of music and song to help young people vocalise complex issues, reflects on how her own experiences as a child and an adult led her to focus on these issues, and her belief that getting talking is vital to keeping young people safe.

This podcast follows from Shehnal Amin’s recent conversation with Pragna Patel and Bindu Bansinath on cultural barriers to disclosing sexual abuse, click here to listen.
