  1. RESS asked:

    What questions do you think we should ask next?

    Response:

    IC3 = BLACK & IC4 = ASIAN

    BME = BAME = (IC3 + IC4)?


    These are the questions that arise.


    Is salary level for both White and BME staff relative to their level of position within the Hertfordshire Council?


    Are BME staff involved in the decision making processes at the highest levels that impact Race Equality?


    If BME staff are involved in decision making processes at the highest levels that impact Race Equality how does that reflect on the internal culture of Hertfordshire Council?


    If BME staff are involved in decision making processes at the highest levels that impact Race Equality is that reflected on the treatment and service levels to external Black and Non-white communities?


    To obtain a position and/or relatively high salary within Hertfordshire Council, does BME staff have to forgo aspirations for Race Equality and embrace Fairness (Whiteness)?
