What’s being done about it

The inquiry into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence is expected to recommend a greater emphasis on multi-culturalism in schools.

The Macpherson report may result in the inclusion of anti-racist education as part of the National Curriculum. And work is already underway to encourage racial tolerance and understanding of other cultures.

The government is addressing racism and discrimination at the highest level by improving laws and tackling ‘institutional racism’. It is also working with employers, trade unions, charities and the media in support of anti racism campaigns in schools, the workplace and sport.
