Anti-Racist Policy Booklet

The EIS recognises the importance of anti-racist policies and the role of education in combating racism and xenophobia. The development and implementation of anti-racist policies is the responsibility of every member of the EIS and education community regardless of where they work.  Now as a result of the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000 all public bodies are required to have a Race Equality Scheme to help them with their duty to promote race equality. This is a significant change to the Race Relations Act as it is a positive duty on public bodies to do something more than react to incidents and to ensure that they do more than merely have a policy.
