The Sutton Fairness Commission now takes the form of an annual event where good practice on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is shared and promoted. The previous two events featured the following: October 2023 event brought together groups who had focus on EDI. The focus of this event was to give those working on these issues feedback on the Racial Justice Work completed over the last two three years and share the completed recommendations from the report (see links below for more details). We also heard from groups working on the Race Equity/Justice agenda. Group discussions took place on the following:
- What has gone well in terms of EDI?
- Are there any new ideas developed?
- What are the challenges for groups and how can we work better together?
The second event held in July 2024 focussed on the theme of children and young people in Sutton. Sutton council presented on the change in demographics in the borough. We also heard from our community groups:
- Sutton African Caribbean Cultural Organisation,
- People Arise Now,
- Sutton Young Commissioners,
- SDA Wallington Hub,
- Refugee and Migrant Network,
- Hong Kong community.
The Fairness Commission has no current projects or research planned.
