Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families - Anti-racism resources for schools

March 2022

The Anna Freud Centre has created a set of 10 free resources to help school staff understand the mental health impact of racism on children and young people, and to feel more confident in addressing related concerns.

The resources will help schools build a whole-school approach to anti-racism. They cover topics including:
• how to support students who have experienced racism
• writing an anti-racism policy and reviewing existing policies
• holding cultural exchange events
• how staff can improve their knowledge and confidence in this area
The resources were co-authored by the Anna Freud Centre and anti-racism experts Hon. Stuart Lawrence and BLAM UK. They can be worked through as a full set, but they can also be used individually, depending on which areas are current priorities for your school.

Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families - New mental health resources for Further Education Colleges

March 2022

Around one in six 17 to 22 year olds has an identifiable mental health condition, and college staff report significant increases in students with both diagnosed and undiagnosed conditions.

Further education is a unique educational environment with its own challenges.

Staff may spend less time with students, making it more difficult to notice or raise concerns. Students may have additional pressures, like money or housing, which can contribute to mental health concerns.

This section of the website will support college staff with some of the most common mental health issues they see in their students.
