Join us for this webinar to hear from Elena Jurado and Denise Morrisroe who both work at the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. 

They will present on the role of the Commission in promoting and upholding equalities and human rights and share recent examples of cases and issues the Commission has worked on. An ideal session to build your subject knowlege for teaching National Curriculum and GCSE Citizenship requirements.
