]]> Beyond a numbers game explores how we can improve the recruitment, retention and progression of racially minoritised staff and how to build inclusive working cultures across the Criminal Justice System.  This report comes at a time of unprecedented scrutiny for our criminal justice system in relation to its record, practice and impacts on racially minoritised communities. Recent thematic reviews from Inspectorate bodies, an inability to make sustained progress in addressing racial disproportionality and the crisis across policing, which has recently culminated in Baroness Casey’s Review of the Met Police have made this matter all more urgent.

]]> In this response to the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and College of Policing (CoP)’s Police Race Action Plan, we welcome the commitment of the police to becoming an anti-racist police service that is trusted by Black people, and the positive direction set out in the Plan. However, we have also highlighted our overall and fundamental concerns that the Plan overlooks key areas that would improve policing for Black people, such as a specific focus on improving Black detainees’ experiences of police custody and addressing Black women and girls’ experiences of policing.  We also state that the Plan’s ambitions are undermined by recent policy decisions to extend some police powers that disproportionately affect Black people. Our members are also concerned that the plan has not been co-produced with Black communities.
