Towards Racial Equality - a survey of compliance with the duty
Published in July 2003, Towards Racial Equality was a major survey of public authorities' activities to end racial discrimination.
It assessed the nature, extent, and quality of the early response from public authorities to the statutory duty to promote race equality, six months after the specific duties became enforceable.
A sample of approximately 3,500 organisations were selected to participate in the survey, which was carried out by Schneider-Ross, working with NOP Research. The responses painted a picture of the extent to which public bodies were taking action to eliminate unlawful discrimination, promote equality of opportunity and good race relations both in employment and service provision, as required by the Race Relations Act.
The CRE will be following up this survey to monitor and track the progress made by public authorities in implementing the race equality duty. This survey is likely to be published late 2005 or early 2006.
Two reports were published as part of the survey - one for England and Wales, and one for Scotland. The executive summaries of these can be downloaded from this page. For details of how to order the full report, see our Publications section.
