Changing attitudes
Article Abstract:
There are different levels of racial harassment, according to Mike Collins, programme director of the UK National Health Service's (NHS) campaign against racial harassment. He states that much racial harassment, particularly among work colleagues, is subtle. He believes that this can have a negative long-term impact on the health and self-confidence of black employees. He emphasizes that the NHS Executive regional offices will take action against trusts that fail to take the issue of racism seriously.
