We respond to the following questions:
- What could be done to improve representation, retention and progression opportunities for people of different ethnic backgrounds in public sector workforces (for example, in education, healthcare or policing)? [Question 2]
- How can the ways young people (in particular those aged 16 to 24 years) find out about and access education, training and employment opportunities be improved? [Question 5]
- Which inequalities in health outcomes of people in different racial and ethnic groups are not (wholly) explained by inequalities in underlying determinants of health (for example, education, occupation or income)? [Question 6]
- How could inequalities in the health outcomes of people in different ethnic groups be addressed by government, public bodies, the private sector, and communities? [Question 7]
- Can you suggest other ways in which racial and ethnic disparities in the UK could be addressed? In particular, is there evidence of where specific initiatives or interventions have resulted in positive outcomes? Are there any measures which have been counterproductive and why? [Question 10]
