In this particularly necessary episode of Compassionate Cultures, we explore how U.K. schools can better support racially, religiously and culturally marginalised pupils in the aftermath of the recent U.K. riots. While many schools have anti-discrimination and anti-bullying policies in place, these measures are not enough to protect pupils from the systemic and everyday challenges of racism.

Join us as we discuss practical steps schools can take to reassess and reshape their policies, create inclusive environments, and provide essential emotional support to students from culturally marginalised backgrounds.

The host, Rebbecca Hemmings also dives into why current policies often fall short and how schools can offer culturally responsive counselling, safe spaces, and trauma-informed teaching. If you're a teacher, school leader, or parent invested in building a more inclusive school culture, this episode is a must-listen. The work must be actioned to ensure that all pupils feel safe, valued, and supported in schools.
