Racism in English education should be seen as safeguarding issue, says author

Jeffrey Boakye argues in new book that schools are unsafe places for students marginalised by race

Racism in education should be treated as a safeguarding issue, with anti-racist policies in all schools in England and training for staff, according to a new book.

Jeffrey Boakye, a black English teacher, author and broadcaster, argues that schools are unsafe places for students marginalised by race, and warns that black children are attending institutions that might actively contribute to their harm".
