Race Equality Programme
Sheffield is a beautifully vibrant diverse city, rich in heritage, culture and language and is home to many diverse communities. Sheffield’s children and young people are the future of the city. These young people are entitled to the best possible life opportunities that the city can give them at every stage of their educational journey from early years through to transitioning into adulthood and employment.
The Race Equality Programme builds on the findings of Sheffield’s Race Equality Commission (REC) and is committed to advancing race outcomes for both staff and pupils across the city of Sheffield.

Race Equality Commission
The Sheffield Race Equality Commission was established in Summer 2020 to provide an independent strategic assessment of the nature, extent, causes and impacts of racism and race inequality within the city.
The Sheffield Race Equality Commission carried out short inquiries, taking evidence, before producing its report and recommendations on the following key themes:
- Business and Employment
- Civic life and Communities
- Crime and Justice
- Education
- Health
- Sport and Culture
The Race Equality Commission (REC) concluded that ‘racism and racial disparities remain significant in the lives of Sheffield’s citizens’.
