Nearly 50% of all schools in England have no Black or minority ethnic teachers. Where there is Black (or Brown) staff, the senior leadership teams are mostly all white, UCL’s Institute for Education have found.

I've just signed the petition calling on @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak to make sure #UniversalCredit is putting more money in people’s pockets so we can get through this crisis. Will you join me? https://t.co/rMLyLjG7oD via @38_degrees

Previous research with adults in the United States has found that anger is perceived more quickly than happiness in Black faces, while the opposite effect was found for white faces. 3/3

[ACDiversity @acdiversity]

Prospective teachers appear more likely to misperceive Black children as angry than white children. This anger bias can have huge consequences as it can lead to Black children being disciplined unfairly and suspended more often from school. 1/3

[ACDiversity @acdiversity]

This can have long-term ramifications as common racist misperceptions can extend from school into adulthood and "potentially have fatal consequences, such as when police officers kill unarmed Black people on the street or in their own homes." 2/3

[Dr Zubaida Haque @Zubhaque]

When racial profiling in relation to stop and search is so deep-seated that it affects black MPs as well as the police force's *own BME staff*, you know it's not just a question of a few "bad apples". This is a systemic problem and this is the definition of institutional racism.

[ACDiversity @acdiversity]

Another reminder that Government studies have revealed evidence that there is racial bias with teacher assessments in England & Wales.

[Lester Holloway @LesterJHolloway]

Black & Asian students have been written out of #examshambles U-turn story. Attention now on uni places, yet all the evidence points to racial bias in the system now being used - teacher assessments. Here's the government's own report saying so: https://t.co/Oaljqdsgn4

[ACDiversity @acdiversity]

Important thread from Interim Director, Liberty @graciemaybe. She reminds us that @RunnymedeTrust
wrote to govt back in April, "teachers expectations of black students and their working class peers tend to be systematically lower than warranted by their performance in class".
