There was an interesting report, film and book, written by researcher Adrian Hart, on this very topic a few years ago. One of the things he noted was that a reporting regime can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, with a growing list of incidents being written down as evidence that there is racism. One of the reasons why that happened was that schools were getting in trouble because they did not have enough incidents of racism written down and therefore they were seen to be ignoring racism, so they were literally going around hunting the racism to add to the list to prove how diligent they were being.
