Practice
Teaching:
Developing
an
Anti-Racist
Perspective
The
demands
on
practice
teachers
to
provide
anti-racist
learning
and
teaching
opportunities
will
increase
under
the
regulations
for
the
Diploma
in
Social
Work.
Steve
Collett,
Martin
Evans
and
Peter
Simpson,
of
Merseyside
Probation
Service,
consider
how
competence
can
be
assessed
and
probation
practice
taught
from
an
anti-racist
perspective.
ne
of
the
most
daunting
situations
that
can
#
face
a
white
practice
teacher,
working
in
a
largley
white
community
is
the
expectation
and
perbaps
even
the
contractual
obligation
to
provide
anti-racist
learning
opportunities
for
their
student.
The
;rc~~actance
or
bewilderment
on the
part
of
some
practice
teacher,~,
how-
ever,
does
not
necessarily
reflect
a
refusal
to
recognise
or
attach
importance
to
the
impact
of
racism
on
social
work
practice.
More
often,
it
is
a
reflection
of
poor
support,
inadequate
training,
unclear
policies
and
above
all
ignorance
of
what
is
actually
meant
by
’anti-
racist
learning
opportunities’
and
’anti-racist
practice
teaching’.
