The Race Relations Act of 1976 makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone because of his/her colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national background.  The Act makes it the duty of Glasgow Council to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination.  In 1990, the guidelines ‘Tackling Racist Incidents within the Education Service’ were issued to assist all teaching staff in dealing with such incidents.  The adoption of a multicultural and anti-racist approach should be seen as one part of the continuing attempt to improve the quality of education.  Glasgow City Council recognizes that support from the home is essential if these aims are to be achieved.  Every child in Glasgow has the right to be happy and secure at school.
