- Anti-Racism and Equity Board
The Anti-Racism and Equity Board exists to challenge all forms of racism including raising Islamophobia within our health and social care provisions. We are responsible for improving equity and access to health and social care, especially amongst local ethnic & racialized communities and other marginalised or oppressed groups such as women, families with SEND children, disabled residents and the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on intersectionality, socioeconomic status and the social determinants of health.
We will shape how the refresh of the anti-racism action plan will be carried out over next 3-4 years, with resident engagement to co-produce action plans and interventions. We will also oversee the Health and Inequalities programme, ensuring regular monitoring of delivery and outcomes of the programme.
Anti-Racism and Equity Board - 2025/26 Priorities

Iterations for primary care and NHS trusts as well as recognition/award system to incentivize and embed anti racist practice
Mechanism to continuously monitor, and report racism as well as other forms of intersectional discrimination across place for staff, patients, service users
