The under-representation of characters of colour in children′s literature in the UK is quantified in the CLPE′s award winning
Reflecting Realities research.Through this research, the CLPE actively disrupts the demand-and-supply chain and holds the children′s publishing industry to account, encouraging it to do better.

Reflecting Realities teaches us;

* enables teachers to explore what constitutes quality representation;
* includes practical support on how to translate this thinking into positive change in the classroom;
