The government has released its Inclusive Britain strategy highlighting the details of 74 actions that are aimed at tackling racial disparities across the country. The report was developed as a response to last year's controversial report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities which made 24 recommendations to tackle ethnic disparities.
Last year, the Sewell report was heavily criticised when it effectively concluded there was no systemic racism in Britain.
Minister of State for Equalities Kemi Badenoch added: “The Inclusive Britain Action Plan sets out how we are joining to tackle the racial and ethnic disparities that persist in the UK. We have laid our more than 70 concrete actions which will practically improve people’s lives.
“I strongly believe that Britain is the fairest and most open-minded country in the world, but there is more we can do to foster inclusion and enable everyone to reach their full potential. This strategy builds on the Levelling Up White Paper which provides the blueprint for spreading opportunity more equally across the country.
Among its other commitments, the history curriculum for schoolchildren will be revamped, employers will be given advice on how to measure and report on ethnicity pay gaps.
