 Britain is a multi-racial and multi-faith country and everyone has the right to have their culture and religion respected by others.
It's illegal and it can be stopped.
You don't have to be a different colour to suffer racist bullying. Your family might have come from Romania or the former Yugoslavia.
Neither is racist bullying confined to colour of skin. We've had complaints of non-Welsh and non-Scots children experiencing bullying in those countries. Other complaints have been about traveller children finding life difficult in school.

Start keeping a diary of who said what and when, and who witnessed it.
If your child is being called names relating to colour or religion or culture then the first step is to write to the head teacher to explain what has been going on and to ask for it to be stopped immediately.
If English is not your first language and you have contacts in the community, then tell them what is happening at your child's school, and ask for help. Your child may not be the only one suffering this problem. Dealing with bullying can be upsetting and isolating. Tell us about it so that we can help you.
