How do I prove the school won't dicipline the gang of boys bullying my son because of the colour of their skin

As it said in the title

What makes you think it's racial?

What's the story here?

Bug the staff room?
Keep a record of all bullying incidents over the course of a year with ethnic origin of aggressor and victim and actions taken, or not, by school.
Find a case that is provably identical in every way except for the skin colour of the participants and has been treated differently the school.

It's tricky, is what I'm trying to say. Not impossible, but very difficult. And it will sour your relations with the school irreparably.
And it will not actually achieve what you want, which is presumably to get the school to do the right thing asap. You don't actually need to prove why the school aren't taking action - what you need to do is to prove that they should be taking action and they aren't. Speculating about their motives will not get you the outcome you want for your DS.

How do you know skin colour is a factor?

Is that the angle you really want to take? Do you think it'll achieve whats presumably your objective of getting your DS more support and reassurance that bullies won't get away with it?

Do you want the school to discipline the boys bullying your son?

What has skin colour got to go with it? Unless the bullying is race related.

The bullying is by a gang of Asian lads and is inccesent. They don't seem to punish them at all. And then when the gang are violent or aggressive they say my son is saying racist things to them. Which I'm assured by staff isn't true. I firmly believe they are reluctant to punish gor fear of being accused of being racist

How old is your son OP? Can he record them when they are bullying him?

School governors? Make sure everything is in writing.

He's 12 and has ongoing issues with social situations. He has been refered to senco as they think there's an underlying problem. He doesnt integrate well and has issues with making friends. But he has made a small group of friends of which my niece who is the same age is one. There was an altercation today where the group of Asian boys were verbally abusing my disabled niece and he said to them to leave her alone which ended in my son being assaulted. The group of lads have accused my son of saying racist things to them which is why hte one boy hit him. I know it's not true because witness statements say it's not. So if they can accuse my son of being racist are they frightened they will accuse the school of being racist!?!?

The advice that I support is to go about this entirely from the angle of your child. Avoid supposition and acusation about others. Start tomout everything in writing.

My son witnessed his cousin being abused today. My son tells me he did x/y/ z which I feel was an appropriate reaction. He was subsequently assulted.

My son feels unsupported by the school and we'd like to have a meeting to discuss a plan of action to ensure he feels safe within the school environment and suffers no further abuse.

I'd like to bring to your attention that members from this particular group of boys have been involved in incidents raised with the school verbally/ by email/ letter (enter as many times dates vague details as you can remember). I am concerned that this is not a case of playground tit for tat but systematic bullying against a more vulnerable child by a group of children who appear to behave above the schools policies.

I very much doubt that the school is any more lenient on Asian boys in case they are accused of racism. that makes no sense at all. You seem to have picked up on their race as an issue to you; are you sure your son hasn't done so too?

It's systematic bullying. They say things and do things because they know my son has somewhat of a short fuse and can mouth off. He doesn't get physical with the other kids because he's fearful of getting in trouble. He was quite violent in the home towards myself and family members until the final time he assaulted me so bad my mom rang the police. I firmly believe he is now terrified of being physical with other students because he was told it was not ok to hit others and it would result in him being arrested and put in the cells for the night. I really feel for him. He came home and cried himself to sleep yesterday and last Friday he spent the day with all the gang telling him to kill himself and he was worthless. I'm not keen on sending him to school but feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

At the school I work in, a student told another they should "go away and kill themselves". The student who said that was permanently excluded. Things like that are very serious indeed.

This country has hopefully learned lessons from the whole Rochdale thing where people were unwilling to deal with the situation for fear of appearing racist, so while these boys' bullying may not be racist ('just' bullies picking on the more vulnerable for no reason other than that they are vulnerable) the school still need to deal with it. Bullying is bullying no matter what the motivation.

Document everything. Finally, if nothing is done, ask the school, and the County Council, about a 'managed move' to another school. Sometimes there's no point sticking around to be bullied some more. Some bullies never change, so your only recourse is to move out of their radar.

If your son was asulted ring the police

Get the school involved - you need to stick up for him
