Race Equality Scheme
In the summer of 2008 the MPA completed its Generic Equality Scheme (GNES). This generic scheme combined the MPAs existing equality schemes on disability, gender and race with action plans for the remaining diversity strands of age, faith/belief and sexual orientation.
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000
The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 places a statutory duty on public authorities to promote race equality. The Act also requires public authorities to devise a Race Equality Scheme, which outline their arrangements for tackling racial discrimination, and promoting equality of opportunity and good race relations.
MPA Race Equality Scheme
The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has prepared such a scheme. This scheme demonstrates the Authority’s commitment to race equality, and sets out how it intends to work with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), the Greater London Authority (GLA) and other bodies. The MPS has also produced a Race Equality Scheme in order to meet the duties of the Act. The MPA and the MPS schemes tie in closely with each other.
The key objective of the MPA Race Equality Scheme (RES) is to demonstrate the MPA’s commitment to race equality. The following Race Equality Scheme documents are available as PDF documents:
