Race Equality Strategy - From Commitment to Change
July 2026-2029
Racial inequality is not inevitable. Tackling it requires more than good intentions. Our Race Equality Strategy 2026–2029 sets out our commitment to challenging the structures, systems and inequalities that continue to affect Black and racially minoritised communities.

That means strengthening community leadership, ensuring lived experience has real influence, challenging inequality within institutions and systems, and creating greater accountability for the decisions that affect our communities.
