Abstract | Background: Within mental health services, Black people tend to have poorer experiences of mental health services, in terms of access, treatment and outcomes. Institutional racism has been cited as one of the main causes for the differences. Over the years, several national race equality policies, initiatives and pieces of legislation have been introduced across the public sector to try and address these issues. However, since the introduction of the Equality Act (2010), it seems that race equality has effectively been taken off the national agenda, with mental health services having to develop or draw on their own resources to adequately tackle this issue. |
