Evaluate training, education and enforcement of anti racism in all sectors.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently, there are evident racial inequalities issues across the UK. There have been petitions regarding curriculums, and police violence. However, I ask the government to review all sectors- education, healthcare, the workplace, and establish why so much racial inequality is present in the UK.
This needs to be treated as major problem requiring a full task force and complete overhaul of our legislation. Clearly, from the time we are children, until we are adults, something is going wrong along the way to prevent racism. I grew up with compulsive PHSCE classes and being taught about diversity and colonialism. However, I believe racial abuse and inequality is not viewed seriously enough and within workplaces and schools, there needs to be a better system in place to prevent racial inequality.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to commission an independent review into racism in a specified area of the public sector e.g. education or the NHS, if you wished. We have published this petition calling for such a review of the police, which you could sign if you wished: Conduct and publish an independent review into race relations with the Police.
