In the 21st century, it is still the case that pupils from some black and ethnic communities face a disproportionately high rate of permanent exclusion from school; and are likely to achieve disproportionately low educational outcomes. There is an urgent need to mobilise parental support for collaboration with teachers in adressing these issues.

The Manchester Conference for Black Parents Children and Young People is an initiative to bring people together around this.

Our aim is to help build an alliance of parents, teachers and communities to take positive steps in addressing the lower qualifications and disproportionate exclusions experienced by children from some black and minority ethnic communities in Manchester.

This Conference is a collaboration between The Louise Da-Cocodia Education Trust and Manchester Metropolitan University. The steering group includes representatives from the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust.
