Anti-racism
NIROMP is committed to advancing racial equity and justice. Our commitment is to actively promote anti-racist practices. We pledge to challenge racial injustices; to bring about improvements to the care impacting on the lives of children and individuals with care experience.
We believe that every child and young person, whatever their care experience, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background, should have equal opportunities to fulfil their potential. Promoting equality of opportunity, securing better life chances and choices for every child are the pivot around which a fair and caring society should revolve.
“It just goes on, and on, and on. Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it,” she wrote. “It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.“
