Nearly half of teachers say racist bullying is a problem in their schools, a survey has found. A Teachers TV survey of 802 teachers found two thirds said their schools had no policy on such bullying, and many worried about religious intolerance.
A third of teachers said more training would help them tackle the problem. The government said all schools should have a strong anti-bullying policy, which should also include measures to tackle racist bullying.
Teachers TV questioned 802 teachers to coincide with its anti-racism week. One in five said they were aware of Islamophobia in their schools.
