Welcome to Warwickshire County Council

Tackling Harassment	School Resources
Welcome to Race Equality
Mark Gore Head of Service, Learning and Achievement Division Race equality is an important part of the work of the Learning and Achievement Division within Warwickshire Local Authority. The new Race Relations Amendment Act puts local authorities under a specific duty to deliver services in a culturally appropriate way and to employ a diverse workforce. The MacPherson report into the death of Stephen Lawerence also highlighted the presence of racial harassment and institutional discrimination.
We need to raise the awareness of Local Authority officers and teachers in Warwickshire's schools to ensure that all students have a safe working environment and are helped to achieve their potential. The work of the InterCultural Curriculum Support Service [ICSS],and County Music Service are helping students appreciate the creativity offered by living in diverse societies. Education has a pivotal role to play in helping students appreciate that diversity (in all respects e.g. gender, age, race, sexuality, disability etc.) is enriching. All students are entitled to learn about diverse people so that wherever their future professional and personal lives take them, they have developed a sense of respect, curiosity and integrity about those who are different from them. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery.....
