Core Commitments
Actively promote and display books that are inclusive of a diverse range of characters.
Ensure that books and book events are accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
Supplementary Commitments
For each book ask ‘Who is represented in this book, and how? Are the characters reflective of the world we live in? Is the representation authentic?’
Discuss inclusion and diversity with colleagues and challenge those who downplay its importance.
