Guest blog: Why our BAME children and young people are disproportionately affected by COVID 19.

“Today #Charitysowhite have published their first live position paper on ‘Racial Injustice in the COVID-19 response’. It is truly an achievement for a campaign run solely by BAME volunteers working in the sector. This paper and other work from #Chairtysowhite have empowered people like me to talk effectively when highlighting the ways in which BAME communities are over represented and at the same time over looked during a crisis like this.”
