Employment monitoring by ethnicity is a key aspect of charting our progress in our Race Equality Scheme. Annual reports are produced to the Policy & Resources Committee and can be viewed on the Monitoring section of these pages.

Council harassment procedures with trained harassment support officers are also an integral part of our commitment to race equality as an employer.
