Anti-racist Principles Guidance: Working to improve fairness, justice, and equality in City and Hackney

This guide presents six anti-racist principles, developed in collaboration with health and social care professionals and resident representatives in City and Hackney. These principles are designed specifically for public and voluntary organisations in City and Hackney, aiming to promote fairness, justice, and equality in accessing publicly funded services and job opportunities for members of the global majority living, learning, and working within these areas. Additionally, the guide outlines how these principles were co-developed, and offers practical guidance on implementing them within your organisations to create a more inclusive and equitable environment. We advocate for the adoption of anti-racist approaches. These principles transcend the traditional white and black binary, addressing both inter- and intra-group biases and prejudices that hinder equitable outcomes. By embracing these principles, we aim to create environments conducive to building sustainable and fulfilling,lives, while also ensuring that services are designed and delivered in a manner that is inclusive and responsive to the diverse needs of all individuals. This first iteration is being delivered through two test sites and this document will be updated the case studies and findings brought out during the testing. It is intended that this document is used in conjunction with anti-racist approaches, protocols and policies provided by the organisation in which you work. Whilst examining the ‘How’ areas in this document, you may wish to refer to your organisation’s offer for equity, equality, diversity and inclusion training, frameworks or toolkits.
