Who we are

The South West Race Equality Forum is a forum comprised of individuals and representatives of organisations committed to race equality within the South West region. More details can be found in our Terms of Reference which are available here: Terms of Reference

What we do

The Forum will strive to achieve the aims and objectives laid out in the Terms of Reference, including:

  • generating a greater awareness of race equality issues;
  • embedding a positive race equality perspective into policy and strategy;
  • tackling all race discrimination, not only in the workplace, but also within society generally, and;
  • serving as a voice for the race equality sector when necessary.

The Forum will achieve its aims and objectives through activities including, but not limited to:

  • participation in forums, meetings and events of regional organisations such as the Regional Assembly, ESW and the South West Regional Development Agency;
  • liaising with regional stakeholders to identify and secure funding for the Forum and its members to fulfill their objectives;
  • facilitating consultation on race equality with sub regional, regional and national bodies, and;
  • contributing a race equality perspective, on sub regional, regional and national strategies and documents.
