Valuing diversity and challenging racism through the curriculum

The Respect for all web pages provide support for teachers looking for ways to integrate race equality, diversity and inclusion issues into the curriculum.

They provide guidance and ideas on how your school can value diversity and challenge racism through the curriculum. The content is designed to help pupils from all ethnic groups and linguistic, social and cultural backgrounds realise their potential.

This material explains what your school should accomplish in terms of the national curriculum inclusion statement and the Race Relations (Amendment) Act (2000).

It suggests approaches to lesson planning, class management and learning activities to foster a greater understanding of values, cultures and practices. The case studies demonstrate how schools throughout the country have achieved this in practice.

We have included a Respect for all audit tool to help your school review and monitor its race equality policies and practice.

If you would like to contribute your own activities please visit How to get involved.
