Unconscious bias campaign for all teaching staff

PARC launched its Check your bias campaign at the University of Westminster Marylebone campus on Saturday 10 February 2017 with discussion on its impact on the disproportionate number of school exclusions of Black children and young people. The campaign includes a petition to the School Standards Minister. PARC is currently working with its membership and supporters to push for change in teacher training so that Black children and young people are treated more fairly in the education system, from preschool through to further and higher education.
