Departmental Racial Equality Champions
Topics:
The Racial Equality Strategy 2015-2025 contained a commitment to establish a network of Racial Equality Champions across all NI Executive departments. This was something the minority ethnic sector expressed a strong desire for, during the Strategy’s public consultation exercise.
The Racial Equality Champions initiative is intended to ensure that messages relating to racial equality and good race relations are consistent and visible to all staff across Executive departments.
They are supported by the Racial Equality Delivery Team in The Executive Office, whose work is underpinned by the Strategy. The Racial Equality Champions work with the Racial Equality Subgroup to identify gaps in the services provided by departments and how to close them.
