The Women and Equalities Committee has launched an inquiry to examine the results of the recently published Race Disparity Audit.
The Committee invites written submissions on the Audit and its value in
policy-making.
The audit uses published government data to examine how
people of different ethnicities are treated across public services in
areas including health, education, employment and the criminal justice
system. The inquiry will consider:
- How the audit results should affect future approaches to collecting and analysing data on equalities and outcomes
- How the Government should take forward its policy response to the published data
- What the data shows about priorities for addressing disparities.
The
Committee welcomes initial written submissions from researchers, civil
society organisations, individuals and other interested parties by Thursday 14 December (deadline extended) on these questions:
- What the Race Disparity Audit reveals about Government data on equalities and outcomes across ethnic groups
- How the Government should respond to the audit
- What the audit tells us about the most pressing policy issues
