BMet Statement – we can’t stay silent

As we prepare to wish our current students all the best in their upcoming exam results and to welcome a new intake of students; all looking for fresh starts and a new world of opportunity, we can’t stay silent.

As an anti-racist college that supports fairness and equity of opportunity, we are horrified and condemn the recent racist violence and Islamophobia seen across the country.

We join others in calling for calm and our message for anyone in fear, across our wonderful city, is that our colleges are a safe space for everyone.

Many of our staff and students are BAME and we will be checking in with them to give them the time and space to discuss how this is impacting them.

We encourage others to do the same – at a time of peak uncertainty and fear-mongering, it’s never more important than now to rally together.
