Our Vision
Origins
Through experiences since moving to Kent, survey data received, discussions already held and alongside my work with young people in schools I believe that the negative incidents that have been experienced could have been avoided had there been education and an open dialogue about racism and its affects. We have been made aware of casual racism which is disguised as banter, direct racism in the form of taunts and a disrespect towards those that may have differences.
Mission
Working collaboratively with young people, parents, teachers and professionals to make a difference to people’s lives PART supports equality, embraces inclusion and educates others to do the same.
PART works towards enhancing anti-racism education and supports a decrease in mental health issues, hate crimes and ignorance to effect positive change.
PART’s vision is for a world where diversity is accepted, inclusion is celebrated and equality is instinctive.
PART aims to reduce racism in the United Kingdom and promote inclusion to help increase young people’s wellbeing.
PART engages with primary and secondary school students, teachers and parents.
PART runs assemblies and workshops in schools and online
PART works with parents as well as professionals and young people
PART works in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 to safeguard young people
Becoming PART of the Solution
We all have a part in preventing and responding to racism. Racism is becoming more prevalent in our communities and schools, through the use of language, physical abuse and indirectly leading to a negative impact upon people’s mental health and wellbeing
We are aware that there are extreme beliefs held by some but by taking part in the programme young people will be challenged on these views and allowed the opportunity to approach these situations more respectfully. This will lead to less racially motivated incidents, less mental health issues being faced by those targeted, a reduction in misunderstandings formed from a lack of knowledge which will lead to a more inclusive community that celebrates diversity and equality.
PART wants to make a change by helping schools and students to feel confident and capable of preventing and tackling racism. We want young people to feel comfortable with challenging racism, to feel more resilient, empowered to cope with incidents and ensure that schools are being inclusive to all that attend
