Dealing with and reporting racist incidents in school Appendix 5 Glossary of terms Appendix 4 19 Most of the definitions are taken from Learning for All: Standards for Racial Equality in Schools, Commission for Racial Equality, 2000 1
Appendix 5 Black Black is sometimes used as a general term for people of African, Caribbean, South Asian and other Asian origin. It includes Caribbeans, Africans and others who wish to describe themselves as Black. Discrimination The Race Relations Act 1976 states that: ‘A person discriminates against another.... if.... on racial grounds he treats that other less favourably than he treats or would treat other persons’. The Race Relations Act 1976 legislates against two distinct types of discrimination: direct or indirect. Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated less favourably because they are, or are perceived to be, a member of a particular ethnic or ‘racial’ group. Indirect discrimination occurs when something has a disproportionate negative impact on a particular racial group which cannot be justified on non-racial grounds. Ethnicity Ethnicity refers to a person’s identification with a group which shares some or all of the same culture, lifestyle, language, religion, nationality, geographical region and history. Everybody belongs to at least one ethnic group, including, for example, the English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. An individual’s ethnic identity is often complex, for example, a person may be Scottish, Black and Roman Catholic. Ethnic monitoring The process of collecting and comparing data by ethnic group. In the school environment, ethnic monitoring might cover attainment and progress, recruitment and promotion, behaviour, discipline and exclusion, attendance, involvement in activities and the use of services, and parental involvement in the school. Institutional racism The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report defines institutional racism as: ‘The collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people.’ Interculturalism Interculturalism is to do with mutually enriching interactions between different cultural groups in ways that respect and seek to maintain the distinct identity and integrity of the cultures involved. Multiculturalism Multiculturalism is about recognising the value and importance of diverse cultures and treating people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds as one’s equals. 2 Dealing with and reporting racist incidents in school
