| AdminHistory | The Sheffield Race Equality Commission was established in Summer 2020 to provide an independent strategic assessment of the nature, extent, causes and impacts of racism and race inequality within the city.
The Commission was chaired by Professor Emeritus Kevin Hylton from Leeds Beckett University. He was supported by 24 Commissioners.
How the Commission worked:
The Commission carried out short inquiries, taking evidence before producing its report [to] make recommendations on the key themes of:
Business and Employment
Civic life and Communities
Crime and Justice
Education
Health
Sport and Culture
It considered a range of written and oral evidence received from organisations and individuals from Sheffield and elsewhere. It looked at what people thought would work to tackle racism and racial inequalities in the city.
Hearings for each of the six themes were held between May and July 2021 after which all the evidence was assessed. An interim update was published in October 2021. |
