About Us:
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The major areas of activity are:
- To work with our local councils to tackle racial discrimination and disadvantage;
- To work with the ‘public sector’ to make full use of the positive duty under the RRAA;
- To work with the local private sector through a balance of advocacy and law enforcement and the promotion of the business case for racial equality;
- To seek to change public attitudes in order to make racial discrimination socially unacceptable;
- To ensure that our work is well informed by close contact with local racial minority communities and to assist in building their capacity to tackle racial discrimination and disadvantage;
- To monitor/evaluate the impact of public bodies on racial minority communities.
Fundamental to that work is the need to operate at a strategic level with the recognition that focused involvement in targeted areas assists in the arguments and the development of improved practices. To achieve this TREC has embarked on a number of exercises, which has given rise to specialist areas of work within the organisation.
The areas of work include:
- Generic race equality development
- Community empowerment through targeted work with infrastructure organisations
- To ameliorate the impact of extreme and violent racist activity
- Integration support to new and emerging communities
- Racial harassment monitoring and intervention
- Promotion of independent living to racial minority disabled people
