Covid Update

On Tuesday 29 March, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, set out the next steps for living with COVID-19 in England from Friday 1 April.

Updated guidance advises:

  • Adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and no longer have a high temperature.
  • Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can return to college when they no longer have a high temperature, and are well enough to attend.
  • Adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice is 3 days.

For education and childcare settings from Friday 1 April:

  • Regular asymptomatic testing is no longer recommended in any education or childcare setting, including in SEND, alternative provision and children’s social care settings. Therefore, we will no longer be able to order test kits .

Summary

Join Ronnie McGrath in an engaging and thought-provoking course, "Discussions on Identity: It's Not just Black and White." This course is designed for individuals seeking to critically examine the complexities of race and identity in today's media-driven world. Through weekly discussions, personal anecdotes, and analysis of popular culture, written texts, and selected documentaries, you will gain a deeper understanding of how identities are formed, revised, and influenced. You will explore the concept of cultural visibility as both a measure of progress and a means of celebrating and constraining identity expressions. By the end of the course, you will possess the necessary language and key concepts to articulate and engage in discussions on how identity shapes the body and influences group affiliation.

How will I learn?

Teaching will take place through onsite discussions, lectures, and documentary screenings. Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive environment that respects diverse viewpoints. Participants are expected to engage in honest, deep, and meaningful discussions, while showing respect for others. Individuals intentionally seeking to offend based on race, class, gender, religion, disability, or sexuality will be asked to leave. While not compulsory, participants are encouraged to deliver a ten-minute presentation on an aspect of their own identity, fostering self-reflection and personal growth.
