  • Creating an anti-racist library

    • Creating an anti-racist library at CCG

      In response to the BLM events of 2020, the libraries in the College Group set out on a mission to create an actively anti-racist library service that will represent and serve our students, equipping them to make the most of their time with us and preparing them for life in West Sussex and beyond. We believe that an anti-racist approach benefits all, that it cannot be viewed in isolation and that inclusion is key.
