If we hold NHS leaders accountable for waiting lists and finances, why not for racism?

Episode 2 of The Quiet Revolution goes behind closed doors at The Royal Free London to explore what real accountability could look like – beyond zero tolerance slogans.

The second episode of our new podcast series is out!

What happens when you stop 'fixing' the people experiencing racism and start holding the leadership who run the system accountable?

At The Royal Free London, that question sparked a radical shift.

The Illusion of Progress? Episode 1 of our new podcast Does the present moment feel different? There’s rising hate crime, flags, open seasonΒ on racism on social media, and, in case we forget, it’s less than two years since a group of people tried burning…

Racism operates as a system, not a fixed identity. Anyone can reproduce it if it offers protection, belonging or clarity.

That’s why today’s anti-immigration rhetoric comes from a politically and racially diverse mix of voices.

When people are worried about rent, heating, food, survival – the world shrinks.

In that space, simple explanations travel faster than complex truths. Racism thrives not because people are stupid, but because they are under-resourced and fearful.

Last week, for #RaceEqualityWeek, we posted a series of resources teachers - and other people - can use to understand anti-racism. In case you missed, it here's a thread of what we said... 🧡

It's out!

In the first episode of our new podcast series, The Quiet Revolution, we ask the hard question: Have we gone backwards on race, or just revealed the truth?

This is a raw, necessary listen. Find it here: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

The opposite of racist isn’t β€œnot racist”. It’s anti-racist.

In schools, β€œnot racist” often looks like silence.
Anti-racism is active – it’s what we choose to do, every day.

As #RaceEqualityWeek ends, the question is simple: what will we do differently next week?

The hidden curriculum is about power.

Not just rules or policies – but everyday norms: whose stories matter, what’s worth learning, and the β€œright” way to learn.

Because it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing posts on racism in schools.
This one is about the hidden curriculum.

Not everything pupils learn is written down.
Alongside lessons, they absorb messages about what’s normal, valued, or seen as β€œother”.

β€œI don’t see colour.”
β€œThere’s only one human race.”

Well-intentioned phrases, but they miss the point.

If we choose not to see race, we also choose not to see racism – and that makes it harder to challenge what’s happening in schools.
