Strategy for Supporting Schools and Other Educational Settings in Combating
Racism
The Council has devised a strategy for providing support guidance for schools
and other educational settings, including youth centres and nurseries in Bexley,
on combating racism. A draft was published for consultation for which the deadline
for responses was 31 July 2005.
Bexley Council's overall vision for social improvement is about enabling the
people of Bexley to be proud of their Borough and to work together to create a
rich, vibrant and inclusive society which values all people equally. This includes
increasing participation in educational activities and raising the achievement
of all children and young people in Bexley schools, nurseries, youth centres and
other educational settings.
If that vision is going to mean anything, we
must recognise the need to be proactive in the
work that we do to ensure that minority ethnic
children and young people are able to learn in
a safe and stimulating environment and are
able to reach their full potential.
 The
Council is currently considering the responses to consultation and expects to
publish the final strategy, together with guidance and a new racist incident reporting
form, later in the Autumn. The outcomes of the consultation will also be published
in due course.
