Almost half of NI’s ethnic minority students receive racist abuse

The ECRI said there were “18,356 children from migrant families enrolled in schools in Northern Ireland” in 2021/22, accounting for around five percent of all school enrolments.

“Over two fifths of ethnic minority students in Northern Ireland have reportedly been the victims of racist bullying and harassment,” they said.

They advised that schools should “take a robust approach to the recording of racist and anti-LGBTI bullying incidents”.

The ECRI added that there had been wider progress in the UK as a whole.

However, they said authorities in the UK should adopt an LGBTI action plan for England and make sure there was no gap in provision for refugees transferring from the asylum system to mainstream systems of support.
