I work in a specialist mental health setting. I create a range of resources for the 'core subjects' (English, Maths and ICT), often aimed at making subjects more accessible for people with learning difficulties or those who have been out of Education a long time.

A display showing twenty prominent people of colour who have an involvement in the history of computing. A great resource for Black History Month. It’s particularly important to me that this resource has a high number of women, encouraging the visibility of both women and people of colour.
