The video was developed by Unlocking Potential, a partnership between the Mellow Campaign and the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, funded by the Department of Health. The message from the video is that black men who have experienced mental health problems can have a productive future in terms of work and training. This is demonstrated via interviews with men who have taken up opportunities and have been able to re-enter the world of work after using mental health services. The presentation is realistic and shows that with perseverance employment is possible - many of the men found work, be it part or full time, despite, in some instances, applying for work over a period of months.

People working in the criminal justice system or with an interest in ensuring it operates fairly need the best possible information about black and minority ethnic (BME) people going through the system. This report looks at the available information and considers the findings of a pilot project undertaken by Nacro to track case files through the system. The project aimed to shed light on the cumulative effect of potentially discriminatory decisions made throughout the criminal justice process. This report provides a summary of the key information about people from black and minority ethnic groups going through the criminal justice system; new data from a study of nearly 3,000 case files; and an analysis of how the system's operation currently makes it harder to identify and reduce discrimination - damaging both the system and its credibility.

The aim of the research was to investigate the educational needs of mixed heritage pupils through a specific focus on the barriers to achievement faced by White/Black Caribbean learners. In particular the research addressed, largely through qualitative case study work in primary and secondary schools, the following objectives: the relative achievement of White/Black Caribbean and other mixed heritage pupils; the barriers to achievement for White/Black Caribbean pupils; and how schools have overcome these barriers and identify successful practice which promotes achievement.

Although empirical research has accumulated over the past 20 years regarding African-Americans and domestic violence, many questions remain about African-American perceptions of domestic violence. This article explores African-American women's perceptions about domestic violence through 3 focus groups at a New York social services agency. The findings point to the need to better understand diverse perceptions of domestic violence, find culturally competent methods of addressing the inaccessibility of domestic violence services, increase culturally appropriate public education, and conduct more research on the connection between domestic violence and child welfare in communities of colour.

States that there are clear links between racism and higher rates of mental illness among ethnic minorities. Discusses racism, its impact and its connections with illness.
