Summary
This report summarises the aims and objectives of the London local government Tackling Racial Inequality programme in which London boroughs, with coordination from London Councils, collaborate to add value to borough work, through regional, pan-London activity. The programme brings local authorities together to develop new and innovative products which embed race equality and anti-racist culture into government agendas.
The Tackling Racial Inequality Programme presented two products at the Leaders’ Briefing on 24 October 2022. This briefing provided information on, and an opportunity to discuss and steer, the two pieces of work developed by the Demonstrating Leadership working group – the London Local Government Anti-Racist Statement (Annex 1) and the Chief Executives London Committee’s Tackling Racial Inequality Standard (Annex 2). This working group encourages boroughs to demonstrate visible leadership on the race equality agenda, both within authorities, but also across partnerships and our ‘places’.
Leaders are invited to endorse these products so that Chief Executives and local government organisations can choose to implement them where these products add value.
