Title Met officers in schools to be checked to see if black children are being targeted Media name/outlet The Guardian Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 4/12/22 Description Remi Joseph-Salisbury, from the University of Manchester, whose research focuses on claims of racism in education and policing, said: “It’s often argued that police officers can play a softer, kinder and more supportive, pastoral type role in schools. The experiences of young people suggest that this simply isn’t what goes on in schools with police officers.“Given that institutional racism and sexism goes to the very heart of policing, what’s needed is not a few tweaks to the role of police in schools, but the absolute removal of police from schools and the redistribution of that funding to care and wellbeing-focused interventions, as determined by affected communities.” URL https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/04/met-officers-in-schools-to-be-checked-to-see-if-black-children-are-being-targeted Persons Remi Joseph-Salisbury
