Clinks and the Young Review joint submission to the Women and Equalities Committee inquiry into the race disparity audit

Clinks and the Young Review worked together to submit a response to the Women and Equalities Committee inquiry into the race disparity audit. Our response draws on our own and others’ previous work on race and the criminal justice system including information from consultation events, which Clinks has previously held, to inform our submissions to the Lammy Review and to the committee’s previous inquiry into improving outcomes for people from Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities.
