Inclusion and Diversity Charter Mark
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the launch of Action for Children’s Charter Mark, which is a recognition for schools tackling prejudice and discrimination; notes that the pupil-led initiative was devised and co-produced by young black and minority ethnic (BAME) women, supported by the charity’s Heritage and Inclusion project; believes that the Charter Mark will help schools examine policy, practice and legal obligations on equality for all young people; considers that it will show BAME young people that their school includes and supports them to identify their rights; believes that it will also be an important tool in tackling prejudice-based bullying within classrooms; wishes Action for Children success with the scheme, and encourages local authorities and the Scottish Government to engage with Action for Children and the Cross Party Group on Tackling Islamophobia as the programme is rolled out across Scotland.
