RACE EQUALITY WEEK TACKLING INEQUALITY, RACISM AND DISPROPORTIONALITY IN NEWHAM
A virtual gallery to celebrate Newham’s cultural history; a street names audit; a digital inclusion strategy; a business pledge to promote inclusion, and a staff survey on racism are among measures to tackle inequality and racism announced this Race Equality Week (Feb 1-7, 2021).
Following its pledge to tackle racism, inequality and disproportionality in the borough, Newham Council today (February 1) confirmed latest measures to understand and address issues facing residents and council staff.
The programme has four main areas of focus: the role of Newham Council as an employer; the role of the council as a beacon of social change; the responsibility of the council to make Newham the best place for children and young people and the council’s duty to deliver greater equality through the services it delivers.
