• Understand the links between Britain and the Caribbean
• Learn about the contribution of different groups in the development of multi-cultural Britain
• Reflect on the voices and experience of Black people
• Consider the impact of the migration of people to, from and within the British Isles.
• Develop historical perspective about cultural diversity
