Call for Membership:
Cardiff’s Race Equality Taskforce will drive
coordinated and strategic action to address inequality in the city. The
Race Equality Taskforce will be comprised of the Chair and 14 members.
The Taskforce will be responsible for advancing a
programme of change and transformation to create a fairer city for our
Black and Minority Ethnic residents.
The Equality Team are seeking applications for Taskforce Membership from individuals with insight and interest in race, ethnicity and human rights, who have the ability, experience, opportunity and influence to make changes in their sector, industry and institutions or organisations.
It is expected that individuals will have experience in one or more of the following fields:

Public Services
Sport
Major Employers and Small-to-Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
Consultation: ‘Your priorities for the Cardiff Race Equality Taskforce’
In preparation for the launch of the Race Equality Taskforce, the Equality Team have launched a public consultation to seek the views of Cardiff residents, particularly those from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, on the Taskforce’s strategic priorities.
The Equality Team want to know what our residents think are the biggest issues, and the greatest opportunities, for Black and Minority Ethnic Cardiffians, so we can focus our thinking and resources into finding the solutions that will have the greatest impact.
Reviewing our evidence base on race inequality in Cardiff, Wales and the UK more broadly, in this consultation the Equality Team propose some suggested areas of initial focus. These suggestions are areas where we believe the Taskforce could have a considerable impact in driving meaningful change to advance race equality.
In this consultation, we want to understand if
our residents agree that these suggested areas should be Taskforce
priorities, or if we could be more effective by focusing on other
areas.
The findings of this consultation will significantly shape the work of the Taskforce in the months ahead, with task-orientated work streams established for each priority, up to a maximum of four.
This approach will enable the Taskforce to benefit from the expertise of credible practitioners who will support the Taskforce to identify substantive and evidence-based recommendations to improve race equality in Cardiff within each theme.
