Dealing with and reporting racist incidents in school Appendix 8 Sample letter Appendix 8 1
Appendix 8 Sample letter 2 Below is a sample letter that may be send by the school to all parents following a racist incident. The letter can be adapted to include the nature of the incidents/s, the actions taken and future actions and commitments to support the school’s policy. Dear Parent/Carer, We have recently been experiencing (the use of racist language in the classroom and in the playground). This will not be ignored in our school and in accordance with the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000, each incident will be recorded and appropriate action will be taken. The immediate stages are: • Both victim and the perpetrator will be spoken to. • The perpetrator will be made aware of the seriousness of his/her behaviour and encouraged to apologise. • The victim will receive appropriate attention and support • The perpetrator will be punished/supported in accordance with the school’s behaviour policy. Details of this procedure and further action can be found in our school Race Equality Policy. Our school recognises and respects all pupils and their families from a wide variety of backgrounds. We are proud of our efforts to treat everyone fairly and to provide an environment where everyone feels safe and that they belong. In order to continue to provide this school ethos, we will make every attempt to stamp our behaviour and actions that cause any pupil and his/her family to feel threatened or unwelcome. The school’s commitment to eradication racism in all forms is by dealing with all incidences regardless of the severity. We ask you, as parents/carers to support this commitment our of school and provide our pupils with guidance and an understanding of equality. Hopefully we will be able to continue to provide a safe learning environment for all the children. Dealing with and reporting racist incidents in school
