In 2021, members of our Leaders for Race Equality Network developed a short book entitled You Are Not Alone. This book shared the experiences of 14 NAHT members from Asian, African, Caribbean and multiple backgrounds who outlined some of their stories of the discrimination faced as both leaders and individuals through school, university, interviews and promotion.

The impact of the book was such that it was picked up by publishers Taylor & Francis for an extended edition, including new advice and guidance for schools on creating inclusive environments, free from racism and discrimination. This book will be of benefit to all school leaders at both primary and secondary levels, and is an important read for those looking to support colleagues and understand the need for diversity and equity among teaching and leadership staff.

Members can take advantage of a 20% discount by using the code NAHT20 when purchasing the book (offer valid until 10 September 2025).

You can buy the book here.

NAHT Leaders for Race Equality

NAHT Leaders for Race Equality is open to all Black, Asian and minority ethnic NAHT members across all roles, phases and sectors, including those who may have retired from the profession. The network provides a space for these members to come together to discuss the experiences and issues facing them as school leaders within NAHT and the profession more widely.

The knowledge and experience from the network aim to inform and deepen NAHT's expertise. It will also ensure we strengthen our representation for Black, Asian and minority ethnic members.
