RACE RELATIONS AMENDMENT ACT AND RACE EQUALITY SCHEMES

Back to all Motions

Conference
2005 National Black Members' Conference
Date
19 September 2004
Decision
Carried

Since the Amendment to the Race Relations Acts of 1976 and the implementation of the Race Equality Schemes in April 2002, little progress appears to have been made in all of the public sectors.

Employers continue to drag their heels and demonstrate lack of enthusiasm regarding producing and implementing their Race Equality Schemes.

Conference therefore calls upon the National Black Members’ Committee to:

1. Work effectively with all the Service Groups in order to establish what

employers are doing to implement their action plans.

2. Campaign publicly to encourage employers to publish and produce annual

league tables in line with their Race Equality Schemes.
