Whole School Approach to Racism

This Scottish Government guidance is designed to support schools to develop and implement a consistent and robust approach to addressing racism and racist incidents. This can be achieved through actions to create a whole school anti-racist environment, including school culture and ethos, school policies and systems, professional learning and development for school staff, and the curriculum. It also means that schools have a
consistent approach to responding to individual incidents of racism when they occur.
This guidance has been designed to assist school leaders, school staff, and local authorities to implement a consistent and robust whole school approach to responding to racism and racist incidents in schools.
The guidance is applicable to all schools, regardless of the diversity of the pupil population or wider community.
Why use a whole school approach?
Racism can affect all parts of a school community, including pupils, school staff, parents, carers, families, and the wider community. A response to racism and racist behaviour therefore requires a whole school approach, with cohesive, collective and collaborative engagement across the school community. This approach recognises the important
contribution to be made by every member of a school community.

Earlier in the year, Education and Youth Work worked with the Youth Council to develop a Support for Young People tab on the Cost of Living DG website for young people age 12 to 25. The Support for Young People tab provides information on financial support, benefits, grants, free things to do in the area and much more for young people.
The tab can be accessed at: Support for young people | Cost of Living
