A spokesperson from the Leeds Jewish Representative Council said the organisation had been “trying to alert Leeds Minster to this issue for over a week”.”We were told they had done that due diligence – they had not. What they had done was check for the 12 names we had been able to submit.”They did not dispute that those names were included in the tapestry. But, worryingly, they decided that because those particular names were not on the panels exhibited at Leeds, it did not matter.”When we tried to take photographs of the panels they had decided to put on public…

It is about having useful conversations, being specific about the kind of work you want, and making it easy for others to understand where you…

The good news is that responsibility isn’t just a personality trait. It can be developed through small, consistent habits. Learning to plan…
