Image details the key four changes we're calling for: 1. For the review of the national curriculum to take an explicit anti-racism focus and to include Black history as a compulsory subject. 2. For the upcoming Race Equality Act to require schools to have an action plan for addressing race inequality alongside their enhanced collection and reporting of ethnicity and race data. 3. For racism to be recognised by the Department of Education as an explicit safeguarding issue and included in mandatory school staff training. 4. For anti-racism guidance to be published for schools and colleges, including how to respond to peer-to-peer racism, mental health effects of racism and racial trauma.

The research evidence is clear that racism harms our mental health. Schools and colleges across the country are failing at their legal duties to prevent and address racism and discrimination, with recent data showing that racism in schools is increasing.

A very simple request: take racism seriously. Incidents are rising in our schools, school leaders are not being supported or encouraged to tackle the problem, education is lacking in every direction. An open letter awaits your signature #takeracismseriously
