NASUWT condemns the racist violence and disorder seen this week in Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland

Our solidarity is with those communities targeted and with teachers across Scotland who are supporting children and young people impacted by this violence and intimidation. 

There is no place for racism, hate or violence in our communities and our political leaders must be unequivocal in condemning both those who physically attack racially minoritised communities and those who fuel the violence with poisonous rhetoric.

NASUWT stands with every family and community under attack - they are not alone, not forgotten, not abandoned.

That is why we are gathering this Saturday at the 'Reclaim our Streets; No to the Far Right' rally in Glasgow.

Please make every effort to be there.

Saturday 13th June
