WHAT IS A RACIST INCIDENT? Q. Can you explain what a racist incident is? “A racist incident as ‘Any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person”. (Working definition of racism and a racist incident as a result of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, 1999)

ACTIVITY How would you respond?: 1 – Read your scenario as a group. 2 – Discuss what has happened and identify who is the victim / perpetrator and if there are any bystanders. 3 – Identify what would be your initial response. 4 – Plan your longer term action plan. 5 – Identify if there could be any red flags. 6 – Discuss if you would record and report the incident. 7 – Be prepared to share your discussions with the group.

Action plan should be put in place to ensure positive action has been taken. Education / staff training / disciplinary action.

REPORTING A RACIST INCIDENT Inform parents. Meet with parents. Future support / counselling. Work in PSE / assemblies or other areas of the curriculum.

REPORTING A RACIST INCIDENT How to report racist incidents between staff: Informal Discuss issue together / Mediation between the two members of staff. Use a friend or trade union representative, or a more senior member of staff for informal help. Formal In writing to immediate line manager. Investigated within the school by someone not connected.
