Bristol with its dominant link to slavery should have its own museum. The current debate around Edward Colston about whether the city is trying to hide its history or not highlights the importance for more education regarding Bristol’s past. We mainly hear about the statistics of the slave trade in Bristol and the economic wealth it brought to the city. However, not nearly enough is said or known about the people involved at the time as well as the huge legacy and suffering that is inherited down family lines. There is a prime spot for this museum by the Bascule bridge which would attract both tourists and local people. It is paramount that we learn more so that we can also campaign for the abolition of modern slavery. There are 40.3 million slaves in the world today (Walk Free Foundation global slavery index, estimates vary). The museum should present the evidence in the framework of international human rights universally upheld following the devastation of the Second World War. Every child should be taught about human rights. No one chooses where they are born. Statues on plinths may come and go but it is far more important to address the pain and suffering that massively contributed to the city’s wealth and history. This is a good time to start the project that could have been achieved many years ago.

The parents of Avanti Park school understood that there would be a formal consultation on the possible introduction of a uniform from September 2021 as stated by the curriculum review. The early announcement of the introduction of a uniform without formal consultation came as quite a surprise to many of us. Little thought appears to have gone into the impact that this sudden decision has on both the parents and the children of Avanti Park school. The children of the former Steiner Academy Frome are used to wearing their own clothes and being able to express their own unique personalities and be treated as individuals in return. While we understand that you want to introduce a uniform, there are concerns over the choice of colour and we are asking if you could choose a colour that reflects the colourful personalities of the children who attend Avanti Park School. Please consider a brighter, happier, more visible colour for the school jumper. Purple or red has been a suggestion by many parents, purple seems to reflect the colours of Avanti School's trust whilst also potentially resolving the issue that is causing distress to children and parents. There has been so much change already that has been unsettling for the children so we appreciate you phasing the uniform in over the course of two terms. White is also a very hard colour to keep clean. We are a colourful, creative and happy community. Please allow the children to wear colours that reflect their personalities and ones that allow them to be safe and visible on the grey winter school mornings and neighbouring roads and pavements.

The decision to completely cancel the 2020 graduation ceremony is not just disappointing, but heartbreaking for all of the students who have worked tirelessly to complete their degrees in the face of the incredibly difficult times 2020 has presented. Give us the ceremony we deserve, in the summer. This may involve adapting celebrations to take place predominantly outside, or restricting the number of guests, but cancelling the ceremony all together should not be an option.

Student nurses have to complete 2300 hours of placement to be a registered nurse and with all the disruptions due to the pandemic this has been made difficult. Students have had to leave part time jobs to catch up on hours or are forced to make up time if they have to isolate. We aren’t entitled to sick pay and therefore we can find ourselves in financial difficulties very quickly. Acquiring COVID from placement could mean not only a high volume of hours to catch up on but also time off part time work. We are exposed to the same things qualified health professionals are however we have no protection. This can’t go on and there either needs to be pay for student nurses or a reduction in the hours that must be completed to allow time for those who end up suffering with COVID time to recover or isolate or a full refund in university fees for all the contributions student nurses make to help the NHS cope in these unprecedented times.

Student finance only covers for rent, bills and equipment for the student. Not for the upkeep of children.

Broadband is imperative for productive home study due to limited library access.

In the UK we exclude around 8,000(APX) pupils each year We are 3x times more likely to exclude Black Caribbean Pupils SEND students are also hard hit In 2011 the Government changed the way in which schools were held to account for the permanent exclusions they decided to issue. The Independent Review Panel (the only Independent part of the school exclusions appeal process) could no longer allow (reinstate) a pupil to return back to the school if they deem the exclusion to have been wrong. The removal of such a vital safeguard to protect young people from putative and discriminatory sanction used by Headteachers across the UK- allowed for a steady normalisation of the exclusion figures of children to loom at around 7,800 each year. We believe this should not be the norm. In Scotland, last year they only permanently excluded 3 pupils. The Government’s disregard for the outcomes of young people has led to this community coalition demanding the complete removal of the ability to exclude children from schools. The Secretary of State is failing its international Human rights obligations of ensuring non- discrimination, and its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. .

There needs to be a dismantling of systemic racism in our schools. Organizational policy and structures need to change in order to support our children who are the future. The current frameworks of education allow racism to thrive and be cultivated. Seclusion of Black boys add to the culture of youth violence, criminality and mental health problems. Children need to be educated in schools.
