Responding to Racist Incidents Training

We can offer training in responding to racist incidents during which school staff participate in thought provoking activities (including case studies) which build confidence and consistency when responding to racist incidents.

This training also introduces staff to relevant background information and legislation around race equality and discrimination. Reference is also made to the Hertfordshire picture based on recent data gathered from schools across the county.

For further information contact Angela Walford, Schools Equalities Adviser.
