What can AdRESS offer you?
Helping you receive the right support and advice is our priority.
AdRESS was created to provide parents and carers with easy-to-understand advice and information about your options if your child has experienced a racist incident or racist bullying at school in Scotland.
If you have already contacted your school about this but you’re not satisfied with their response, we can provide expert advice to help hold these bodies accountable.
If you are yet to share your concerns with the school, we’ve created resources to guide this first step.
Advice
Get expert guidance to help navigate complaining to a school about racism.
Our advisors have years of race advocacy experience, meaning you’re in the best place to receive relevant and actionable advice.
How can we help?
Advocacy
We’re here to help you take the right steps on the pathway to justice.
Advocacy is in our DNA, with our parent company, CRER, researching, campaigning and advocating for racial equality since 2000.
Support
Talking to someone who ‘gets it’ can make all the difference.
Our team of advisors are on hand to provide you with vital support and reassurance based on their own experiences and expertise.
At AdRESS, we can:
Help you to raise concerns or make complaints about the treatment of your child
Sometimes, it’s hard to speak out about the issues affecting your child and how they impact you. This can make the first step feel the hardest.
We’re here to make that process as smooth as possible by providing advice, support and guidance to help you on your journey towards justice.
Advise you on your rights and what you’re entitled to as a parent or carer
It can be difficult to know what you or your child are entitled to and whether more support might be available.
You can learn more about your rights on our website, and if you need to talk to someone, our team is here to advise you on your legal protections and how to ensure your rights are upheld.
Empower you to get the right outcome and resolution you deserve
Racism strips power away from those who experience it - at AdRESS, we’re here to help you reclaim it.
Having the necessary lived experience of racism, our team is uniquely positioned to understand your needs and circumstances and support you in getting the resolution you deserve.
