Make anti racism training and education compulsory in the work place and schools

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should enforce regulations To make anti racism training compulsory just as health and safety training is in the work place and ensure school have lessons and that educate them on what is classed as racism and what causal racism is
This is important not only because of the current situation going on but for the many lives negatively impacted by ignorance and lack of understanding of different cultures. In addition to the lack of consequences for the racists individuals in these institutions and establishments.
