This practice guidance has been prepared in consultation with the Commission for Racial Equality, the Home Office and a sample of Youth Offending Teams. The requirements detailed are aimed at ensuring compliance with all current equality legislation. They have been developed to ensure those involved in delivering youth justice services are able to: a) identify and respond to ethnic diversity in relation to staff; minority ethnic young offenders, their families, local communities, b) raise the confidence of minority ethnic communities who may come into contact with the youth justice system; (c) ensure equality in the administration of justice and the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation or on any other factors that cannot be justified; and (d) ensure these needs and responses are integrated into development plans and crime reduction initiatives at both national and local levels. The guidance is presented in four sections. Each of the four section details areas of responsibility for key bodies and individuals working within the youth justice system: the Youth Justice Board, Youth Justice Services, Managers and Staff.

The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 (the Act) placed a new statutory duty on over 43,000 listed public bodies in England, Wales and Scotland: to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination; to promote equality of opportunity and good race relations. A further list of authorities must prepare Race Equality Schemes or Policies and ensure effective implementation of action on these. The aim of the conference was to explore how refugees and asylum seekers could be taken fully into account in this process by: raising awareness of the barriers that refugees currently face when trying to access basic services and employment within the public sector; highlighting the relevance of the Act’s framework; to improve practice on the ground; enabling participants to meet their legal requirements under the Act; increasing the ability of participants to overcome some of the challenges faced when working within the amended Act’s framework, and to suggest ways of moving forward.
