Reporting racist and
hate-related incidents

incidents based on things such as a person's disability, gender,
sexual orientation, or religion very seriously. If you have been a
victim of a racist or hate related incident but do not want to go
directly to the Police, you can find out how to report the incident
in the PDF below.

Corporate Equalities Plan
The City of London published its first Race Equality Scheme in
2002, which set out how we intended to meet our general and
specific duties to promote race equality. The aim was to make race
equality a central part of the way we work by putting it at the
centre of policy making, service delivery and employment
practice.
Following the City's adoption of the Equality Standard for Local
Government, the on-going actions of the Race Equality Scheme have
been incorporated into the Corporate Equalities Plan as distinct
actions relating to the Race Equality Duty.
The original scheme and appendices are available to download
below, while details of the Corporate Equalities Plan can be found
in the following paragraphs.
Please note that the Race Equality Scheme documents listed below
are not live documents - they are provided to show the initial
actions that the City Corporation undertook under the Race
Relations (Amendment) Act 2000.

Scheme which will incorporate Gender and Disability Schemes into
the Corporate Equality Plan.
Equalities monitoring
In line with Government and EHRC best practice, the City
Corporation monitors the age, ethnicity, disability status, gender,
marital status and religious belief within its workforce profile,
and in returns to the recruitment selection process. In future
years the City Corporation will be monitoring against all equality
categories including sexual orientation.
The monitoring results are reported to the Establishment
Committee in open Committee Reports which are available to the
general public and in PDF format below to download.

The City of London also monitors ethnicity, culture, age, gender
and disability of its resident population as part of its corporate
consultation strategy.
The purpose of this reporting and monitoring is to highlight
possible inequalities, investigate their underlying causes and
remove any unfairness or disadvantage. This process also helps the
City of London monitor its own progress against the CRE Action Plan
(above) and the Corporate Equalities Plan (above) . This
information is also fed into local service planning, the Community
Strategy ( The City Together Strategy: The Heart of a World Class
City 2008-2014 ) and the City of London’s annual Business Planning
cycle, and ensures that services are relevant and accurately
represent all the communities served by the City of London.
City Police
The City of London is also the Police Authority for the City of
London Police, and this responsibility is mainly delegated to the
City of London's Police Committee. The Gender Equality Scheme for
the Police Committee can be found at Appendix A of the City's
Scheme.
