MORE than 60 per cent of black teachers do not feel their employers have done enough to address specific and increased risks they face from Covid-19, polling has found.

The damning survey on school and college teachers by the NASUWT also found that nearly six in 10 black and minority ethnic (BME) teachers have not had an individual or school-wide Covid-19 risk assessment that takes ethnicity into account as a risk factor.

Over half of the 500 BME teachers polled at the union’s black teachers consultation conference said that they are very worried about their safety on the full reopening of their workplace. A further 16 per cent say they do not feel at all safe.
