The Sheffield Race Equality Commission was established in Summer 2020 by Sheffield City Council to assess the nature, extent, causes and impact of racism and race inequality in Sheffield and to make recommendations for tackling them. It covered six major themes: Business and Employment;Crime and Justice; Civic Life and Communities;Education;Health and Sport and Culture.
The Commission has published an interim report ahead of the publication of the Commission’s full report in 2022.
The state of racial equality in the city,it concludes, remains a significant problem for Sheffield with some unsettling observations.
