The draft plan that outlines a series of proposals for all forces to become anti-racist organisations and better understand Black communities has been launched.

The aim of the plan is to give police officers the tools they need to build trust and confidence with Black communities so that they are better equipped to challenge racism and to identify and address any engrained cultural biases that may be fuelling racial disparities across policing.

It seeks to create an anti-racist culture, mindset, values, and behaviours within policing, which will inform all operational policing practices, improving the experience and outcomes for Black people.

It will also enable the lived experience of Black communities, officers, and staff to have a direct influence on police policies and practices going forward.
