School leaders call for mandatory anti-racism training for staff
People march towards Downing Street in London to demonstrate against racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, fascism and the far right, March 18, 2023
ANTI-RACISM training for school staff should be mandatory, an education leaders’ union said today.
The NAHT, which made its call at the beginning of black history month, said there needs to be a “centralised, anti-racist approach to education” which is underpinned by staff training.
The union said that being anti-racist goes further than simply being aware of racism and involves training people to spot it and call it out.
