When people are worried about rent, heating, food, survival – the world shrinks.
In that space, simple explanations travel faster than complex truths. Racism thrives not because people are stupid, but because they are under-resourced and fearful.

I am repeatedly asked for links to research and blogs I have contributed to on evidence based interventions in the NHS on tackling NHS racism. So I hope this summary of some of them may be useful.

The opposite of racist isn’t “not racist”. It’s anti-racist.
In schools, “not racist” often looks like silence.
Anti-racism is active – it’s what we choose to do, every day.
As #RaceEqualityWeek ends, the question is simple: what will we do differently next week?

The hidden curriculum is about power.
Not just rules or policies – but everyday norms: whose stories matter, what’s worth learning, and the “right” way to learn.

Because it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing posts on racism in schools.
This one is about the hidden curriculum.
Not everything pupils learn is written down.
Alongside lessons, they absorb messages about what’s normal, valued, or seen as “other”.

“I don’t see colour.”
“There’s only one human race.”
Well-intentioned phrases, but they miss the point.
If we choose not to see race, we also choose not to see racism – and that makes it harder to challenge what’s happening in schools.

Conversations about immigration and identity are everywhere right now, so it was a privilege to take part in a discussion event organised by The Dialogue Society yesterday.
We explored how younger migrants navigate who they are + the shared values that might help build trust across communities.
