Bristol’s Race Equality Covid-19 Steering Group
Formally named the Race Equality Covid-19 Steering Group, the group was initially established in April 2020, commissioning a rapid review into the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. This rapid review report outlined policy recommendations to address the inequalities behind the disproportionate impacts. In response to this, the Race Equality Covid-19 Steering Group was formed, bringing together members of Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, organisations, public health leaders, medical and clinical leaders, Bristol City Council and other statutory partners.
The steering group was set up to address these policy recommendations along with recommendations in the Public Health England understanding the impacts on BAME communities report.
