CPD Week 3

End of Week 3 & Further Reading

As you complete this programme, we invite you to carry forward the principles at its heart: listening carefully, centring community voices, and approaching Grenfell with both compassion and critical awareness. Teaching about the fire is not only about recounting events, but about honouring lives, recognising injustice, and supporting young people to think ethically about the world around them.

Thank you for your commitment to this work. By engaging thoughtfully with this course, you contribute to a living legacy, one that upholds dignity, truth, and justice in education, and ensures that the lessons of Grenfell continue to be heard, understood, and acted upon.
