Image description: black and white landscape photograph of children at a day centre in Birmingham. An adult with medium light skin and long dark hair, wearing a white jumper and grey skirt, sits by a small bed and speaks to a child playing on the floor in front of them. On the bed, another child is asleep face down. On the left side of the bed sits a child with dark skin and short dark hair wearing a white dress, long socks, and a bib. She is looking off to the right, and leaning back on her right hand. The floor has children's toys on it, and there are bright posters around the walls and soft rugs. A large mirror behind the bed reflects Sandra George, dressed all in black and taking a photograph, and a white crib.
