National Black Parents Association

Our Vision
To provide a comprehensive support network pertaining to educational matters for Black parents nationwide. We also aim to provide a collective voice for Black parents across the UK with the power and resources to lobby the government, to ensure the futures of Black children are regarded as highly as those of other racial groups.

In light of the current backdrop of inequality, it is important that an organisation such as NBPAUK exists, to try to address the underlying issues behind racial discrimination in institutions, especially in education. Children from Black African, Black African Caribbean and Black African/Caribbean dual heritage backgrounds still show disproportionally poor outcomes across society, partly as a result of systemic/institutional racism within the educational system. NBPAUK’s existence is important for providing support and resources to assist the parents of children from such backgrounds.
