| Racial Equality : Information for Early Years Workers |
|
This list includes resources that will be of help to early years workers, including books, articles, legislation, other publications and resources such as videos and DVDs. It should be noted that some of these resources may include particular aspects that are not helpful in addressing racism or do not have a strategic approach to tackling racism. The list has been put together by Jane Lane, a leading expert in this field, and we are indebted to her for putting together such a thorough information resource.
