The Race Equality Foundation has facilitated the co-development of recommendations to address structural racism in London. The recommendations were informed by the Institute of Health Equity evidence review on Structural Racism, Ethnicity and Health Inequalities in London.
The co-production process has involved work with voluntary and community sector, people with lived experience, and statutory partners (London Councils, NHS, Public Health and GLA group). This work demonstrated the importance of co-production approaches with communities. This is a key learning point from the COVID pandemic and core to approaches on tackling structural racism.
Using the World Health Organization’s conceptual framework, recommendations were developed through a life course approach. This method pinpoints ‘key opportunities for minimising risk factors and enhancing protective factors through evidence-based interventions at key life stages, from preconception to early years and adolescence, working age, and into older age’. The framework has been applied across four key stages:
- Starting well
- Living well
- Recovering well
- Ageing well
On Monday 30th June, we hosted a webinar launching the co-produced recommendations, alongside partners from Greater London Authority, Institute of Health Equity, ADPHL London and Design Working group.
