"Government departments and other public authorities were today given a user-friendly website by the Commission for Racial Equalityy (CRE) that will enable policy-makers to put race equality firmly at the centre of the decision-making process.
It's a good piece of e-Government to help those in the public sector achieve compliance on an important issue.
The Race Equality Impact Assessment: A step-by-step guide' website provides user-friendly guidance and practical case studies. Policy-makers will find it easier to meet their legal duty to promote race equality.
Speaking at the launch of the new website, Trevor Phillips, Chair of the CRE said:
Policies don't affect everyone in the same way. In the past the needs of different racial groups were not always addressed and inequalities were created. Race equality should be taken into account whenever a new law or change to existing policy takes place. Although this is a statutory duty for public bodies, it can be hit or miss whether it actually happens. "
