Anti-racism training must be mandatory for all school staff, says NAHT
The National Association of Headteachers (NAHT) will bring a motion to the Trades Union Congress Black Workers’ Conference this weekend, to call for a ‘proactive, anti-racist approach to education’. The union is calling for all teachers to receive mandatory anti-racism training as part of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) training.
