Dear Moira Dustin, Director of Research and Communications,

Thank you for your efforts to help me with my queries. I am sorry you are unable to help any further with my queries. I hope the Equality and Diversity Forum is fit for purpose on issues to do with Race Equality. Even though the Equality and Diversity Forum is not a public authority one should expect certain standards and levels of expertise from organisations that work with public authorities.

Although you have failed to address the issues I have raised you should know someone in the Equality and Diversity Forum that can help. Please would you forward my questions to somebody who can help.

I have clarified / simplified my query for the benefit of the person you pass my query on to and the readers I will be informing about this.

As you should know the Public Sector Equality Duty (Equality Act 2010) requires public authorities to have ‘due regard’ to the need to:

1. Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Act.

2. Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and people who do not share it.

3. Foster good relations between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not share it.

I am concerned about the management of European Race Relations and not about Ethnicity Relations or Diversity Relations. I am now very concerned that even though the Equality and Diversity Forum is not a public authority it may still be unfit for purpose.

As you should know Race is one of the "Protected Characteristics" in the Equality Act 2010.

Race a Protected Characteristic

Refers to the protected characteristic of Race. It refers to a group of people defined by their race, colour, and nationality (including citizenship) ethnic or national origins.

Note 1: http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/private-and-public-sector-guidance/guidance-all/protected-characteristics

Race as defined by the British Police

Code

Ethnicity

IC1

White - North European / White European

IC2

White - South European / Dark European

IC3

Black

IC4

Asian (in the UK Asian refers to people from the Indian subcontinent like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal)

IC5

Chinese, Japanese, or other South East Asian

IC6

Arabic or North African / Middle Eastern

IC9

Unknown

Note 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_codes#cite_note-mpabriefing-2

Please follow these links to understand the Official British Government codification of the differences between Race and Ethnicity.

Race not to be confused with Ethnicity

I have given the link to the Ethnicity Data Standard as specified by the Information Standards Board to make it clear that I am not asking for Ethnicity information.

Source: http://www.education.gov.uk/escs-isb/standardslibrary/a0077051/ethnicity-data-standard

Failure to manage Race Relations effectively results in the failure to address the problem of Racism.

________________________________________________________________

Please would you send me details of where I can find information showing that “due regard” has been exercised in recording and monitoring Race Relations between the IC1 White Northern European Race and the IC2 Dark Southern European Race as required by the Equality Act 2010.

_________________________________________________________________

It is very clear that the Police recognise the Racial difference between the IC1 White North European and the IC2 Dark South European Races and record and use this data for legal purposes.

I am very concerned that no effort is being made to achieve European Race Equality at the Equality and Diversity Forum.

If the Equality and Diversity Forum as an organisation is not able to help any further with my queries because it lacks the necessary expertise on the subject of Race Relations or the Equality and Diversity Forum lacks the necessary organisational infrastructure please let me know so that I can close this inquiry.

I look forward to your reply on this very serious issue.

King regards

Derrick Lynch, Black, IC3, B9, BEUR

Dear Moira Dustin, Director of Research and Communications,

Thank you for your reply.

You wrote:
"we don’t manage or monitor race relations"

1. Is it true that, based on your reply, it is safe to say that the Equality and Diversity Forum is a suspect Racist, which is the same as, White Supremacist organisation?

2. Is it true that, based on your reply, it is safe to say that the Equality and Diversity Forum make no effort whatsoever towards the promotion of Race Relations within the organisation and beyond?

3. Are you, Moira Dustin, a White person?

I was unable to find any Black people working for the organisation on the Equality and Diversity Forum website.

Please could you clarify the situation with a full explanation.

Kind regards

Dear Derrick

I’m afraid EDF can’t help you with your inquiry – we’re a network of other organisations working on all areas of equality and human rights and we don’t manage or monitor race relations. You may wish to contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission with your concern – as that is the statutory body responsible for equality in the UK.

http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/

best wishes and good luck

Moira

To whom it may concern at Equality and Diversity Forum,

I am Derrick Lynch and I have heard some disturbing news about the Equality and Diversity Forum Race Relations. I prefer not to go by rumours so I have decided to make some inquiries for myself and my community.

I live at 5 Hedge Hill, Enfield, London, EN2 8RU.

I am classified, by the British Government, as an IC3, Black, Male.

I have attached illustrated versions of the Race and Ethnicity Codes as used by the British Police and Civil Services.

I am a victim of Racism which I understand as being the same as White Supremacy.

I have been reading the Equality and Diversity Forum website.

Please could you send me:

1. The Equality and Diversity Forum Race Relations Policy.

2. An Equality and Diversity Forum report on how the Race Relations Policy has been performing to date.

3. Details of how the Equality and Diversity Forum manages and monitors Race Relations.

Kind regards
