Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and heard when giving or receiving care. Racism can negatively affect people’s health, wellbeing, learning and career opportunities, and can reduce trust in health and care services.
These case studies are based on lived experiences and explore how racism can affect people across health, care, education and workplace settings. They highlight the impact that bias, stereotypes, assumptions and systemic barriers can have on safety, wellbeing, learning and professional experiences, while encouraging reflection on how individuals and organisations can recognise, challenge and respond to racism in practice.
The examples are designed to support learning and discussion, helping readers consider how anti-racist principles can be applied to create safer, fairer and more inclusive environments for everyone.
