Recommendation 68:- The Local Education Authorities and school governors have the duty to create and implement strategies in their schools to prevent and address racism.

The focus of this project is about the responsibility of all members of the school community to develop a school environment, which ensures an anti-racist approach.

Senior Management and Governors have the responsibility to ensure that there are anti-racist policies and guidelines. However, it is the responsibility of every staff member to deal with racism and of all pupils/students to report racist incidents. The success of this depends upon all staff, governors, pupils/students being aware of racist language, racist bullying, racial harassment, and racial banter/jokes.

Within the school community different people see and experience racism and education in different ways. They may also have a different overall perspective as well as a different perception of the definitions of the problems to be solved. The school community needs to have a shared understanding of the nature and role of racism and specifically institutional racism, so that together they can identify and recognise what should be done in practice.

Staff, pupils and students have to develop positive working relationships with each other, and this means recognising and appropriately challenging racist behaviour; developing equality of opportunity in working practices by complying with policies; having a shared understanding about differences and similarities within the school community.
