Nurseries and schools across Scotland are being helped to tackle the issues faced by refugee children with the launch of a newsletter aiming to share best practice and promote race equality. The Scottish Executive-funded newsletter, Welcoming Newcomers, is produced by the Anti-Bullying Network and Centre for Education for Race Equality in Scotland. It includes good practice from Sighthill Nursery in Glasgow that has faced the challenge of helping refugees. Deputy education minister Nicol Stephen said, 'This newsletter aims to combat concerns that refugee children in Scottish schools can become the target of bullying and racism. Our classrooms and playgrounds are the best place to show how caring and tolerant our local communities can be.'
