Race equity and anti-racism: research

Significant amounts of research have been carried out into specific areas of race equity. However, there are some topics and groups which are under-researched. Please get in touch if you are undertaking research on race equity or are keen to do so. We are always interested in new developments.

Every care has been taken to ensure the information and any recommendations on race equity and anti-racism resources are accurate at the time of publishing. Schools must make their own judgements when sharing our recommendations with staff, parents, and carers and, where appropriate, always risk assess with their pupils and whole school community in mind.
