We should also work to create an inclusive culture from the outset, rather than waiting until there is a racist incident to prompt anti-racist action. A diverse workforce brings many benefits, for teachers and other education staff as well as for learners, the educational establishment, and the wider community.<\/p><p>Anti-racist activity should centre on the voices and experiences of those who are marginalised, and the direction of travel for our agenda should be led by their lived experience, and what they say they need. It is important, however, that not one sole person becomes the voice of everyone from their racial group. Racial groups are not homogenous, so it is important that a range of voices are sought and heard in order that representation is truly inclusive.<\/p><p>A key role for Equality Reps will be to support local anti-racist action by enabling spaces for reflection and discussion, mobilising members for the cause and growing awareness and momentum. It will also be essential to reflect on your own racial identity, and, especially if you are a person of colour, consider reaching out to allies to support you.<\/p><p>Also, the actual doing of the anti-racism work should not be a burden placed solely on those who experience inequality. White people are in a privileged position to sustain anti-racist action and drive change, without experiencing racism. They can act as important allies in the struggle against workplace and wider societal racism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f6604b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7f6604b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-67c0bff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67c0bff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6b7aac\" data-id=\"f6b7aac\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c960f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c960f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Possible actions for Reps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consult the EIS Mobilising for Anti-racism at Work, Reps booklet in the further information guidance below, and consider possibilities for immediate, medium term and future anti-racist action.<\/li>\n<li>Reflect on what other learning or development you would like to undertake in this area.<\/li>\n<li>Review your Council\u2019s individual response to the EIS\u2019s research into BAME recruitment practices write down any further questions you may have in relation to the progress on these and where the Union may want to be involved.
