We all want to help create a peaceful and harmonious country where our children and future generations can thrive". - Jane Hutt MS, Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Welsh Government

What is the Anti- Racism Action Plan?

The Anti-Racism Plan for Wales is a plan that has been co-produced by ethnic minority people with lived experiences of racism, and civil servants at Welsh Government. Adopting an anti-racist approach requires all public, private and third sector bodies to look at the ways that racism is built into their organisational policies, procedures, formal /informal rules and regulations and generally the ways in which we work. It is a bold and historic move, marking a step change in the Government's decision to tackle racism and protect its minority ethnic communities in Wales from abuse and hate. Through the implementation of this plan, Welsh Government wants to end Racism in 2030. This places Wales at the fore front of excellence in inclusion in Europe. Here's to an Anti-Racist and inclusive Wales.
