DARPL AND UCAC'S EQUALITY COMMITTEE

July 2023

At the beginning of June, two UCAC representatives attended a DARPL, Diversity and Anti-Racist Professional Learning, Conference in Cardiff and shared the main messages of the Conference with members of UCAC’s Equality Committee, which convened before the end of the Summer Term.   The delegates of the DARPL conference were deeply affected by the harrowing experiences of racism endured by some of the speakers.  These experiences were shared within the context of the Welsh Government’s vision of an anti-racist Wales by 2030. 

The Conference speakers emphasised the importance of anti-racism, in order to combat racism.   Within the new Curriculum for Wales, the teaching of Black, Asian and minority ethnic history is statutory.  It is well worth remembering that there are resources which refer specifically to Wales and Welsh-medium resources.

It was noted that school leaders have an important role to play to foster and establish an anti-racist ethos.  Further guidance can be found in the following document:

The Welsh Government has also produced a list of race and ethnicity terms, which members of the Equality Committee felt was a valuable resource:

UCAC AT DARPL CONFERENCE

8 June 2023 

 

UCAC representatives attended a seminal conference organised by DARPL (Diversity and Anti-Racism Professional Learning) in Cardiff on 8 June.  It was very encouraging to see so many present at the conference and attendees were offered a full programme of enlightening presentations by notable speakers from Wales and beyond.  All speakers spoke with passion and conviction, many sharing their own personal experiences of racism.  They shared with the audience how these negative experiences had led to their subsequent determination to do their utmost to combat racism.  It was difficult and uncomfortable to listen to accounts of what the speakers and their families had experienced,  but their message was both timely and important and underlined the fundamental fact that we all have a part to play in order to fulfil the Welsh Government’s vision of an anti-racist Wales by 2030.
