This September David Lammy MP launches his government-sponsored review into the treatment of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people in the criminal justice system of England and Wales. We can only speculate what his key recommendations will be but hope that it marks the beginning of the end for race inequalities in the justice system.
In partnership with the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion (Inclusion), the Black Training and Enterprise Group (BTEG) hosted a one day conference in December 2014 to look at ways of increasing ethnic minority participation in Apprenticeships.
BTEG has been leading a series of community consultation events on behalf of the Race Equality Coalition (a group of more than 30 civil society organisations working in the area of race equality) in response to the Home Secretaries consultation on police stop and search powers.
The links below are to the over-arching project report and ten individual event reports that were produced as part of the process. We are looking forward to the Home Office’s response to the consultation.
No work no status: the impact of the economic downturn on London’s BAME communities is the latest research report from BTEG. The title summarises the feeling of not belonging of those unemployed who participated in the 18 months research.
Last night’s Panorama programme, ‘Jobs for the Boys’ (13 May 2013) - click on the title to view the programme - highlighted the crisis facing the country and another generation of young black men. BTEG congratulates Sol Campbell (ex-Arsenal and England footballer) for exposing the barriers young black men face in finding jobs.
