The Race Relations Act of 1976 makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone because of her/his colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national background. The Act makes it the duty of Glasgow City Council to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination.
In 1999 the guidelines, ‘Dealing with Racial Harassment’ were issued to assist all teaching staff in dealing with such incidents.
The adoption of an anti-racist approach should be seen as one part of the continuing attempt to improve the quality of education.
Glasgow City Council recognises that support from the home is essential if these aims are to be achieved. Every child in Glasgow had the right to be happy and secure at nursery.
