Our Government is reluctant it seems to be pro active rather than reactive on many issues that affect children especially it seems when it comes to prioritising their safety and Well being. Government should be aware that the recent race tensions between Black Lives Matter protestors and others will affect children and in cases will negatively impact on the prevalence of bullying and violence in schools.
What we see in wider society will always have an influence on our young people and children, so it shouldn’t take lot of effort to see the potential issues that schools will face after Lockdown, with potential race aggravated attacks and assaults in schools that sadly given the lack of attention given by politician to the increasing levels of violence in schools and to our campaign warnings could lead to deaths and tragedy.
Aside from the most obvious and consistent call we are making for policies to be changed to allow greater transparency and accountability within the bullying and violence complaints procedures, greater effort needs to be made by everyone including Government to create more unity in the wider communities rather than stoking division.
