null Local Authorites in denial about racism

  Too many public sector organisations including Local Authorities are still in denial about racism due to their management culture.     The Macpherson enquiry emphatically made the point that racism was not just about the extreme behaviour of a few wicked people nor was it limited to unprovoked assaults, abuse shouted in the streets or outright...

null Black staff are more likely to be disciplined

Not for the first time the NHS stands accused. This time it’s the Royal College of midwives who have identified that black staff are disproportionately subjected to disciplinary action. Previously the Central Manchester University Foundation NHS Trust was found guilty of institutional racism with the award of £1m to a former manager. The trade union that represented the manager...

null Who are you calling a racist?

Stephen Lawrence was attacked because he was black. Eighteen years after his murder two of his killers have been sentenced to life in prison. His murder and the inquiry that followed not only highlighted the level of hatred some white people directed towards black people but that police intentionally or not treated black people differently. Black people were treated with suspicion and assumed... Gweld mwy
