## **Summary of key activities and achievements in the year 2021/22** 

## **Aim 1: Ensure that ethnic minority individuals and communities feel empowered to challenge racism and discrimination and have access to support and information** 

Dorset REC opened 14 new cases involving racial or religious discrimination in the subject areas shown in the pie chart. 

Within the period of this report, 10 of these cases have been closed (a further 3 cases have been opened since April 2022). 

12 were within the BCP council area and 2 from Dorset Council area. 

Additionally, in this year we continued working on 13 open cases from previous years. 

Of the year’s 10 closed cases, the average time a case was active was approx. 5 months. However, the range is from 1 week to over 12 months. Some of the open cases have now been ongoing for over 2 years, due to their complexity. The actual time a caseworker spends in hours on a particular case is highly variable and is dependent on the intricacy of the case, so it becomes meaningless to attach an average of hours spent on a case.

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
CASE TYPES<br>Crime & Justice Employment Education Health Other<br>14%<br>7% 36%<br>21%<br>22%<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


These broad subject types do tend to hide the diverse issues that our clients are facing, and it has previously been noted that many cases are multi-faceted with several different issues overlapping. For example, this year Dorset REC has not opened any cases under "Housing" because of the three cases opened involving neighbour disputes, all have escalated to the degree that they have been classified under "Crime & Justice" due to the fact that there had already been some element of police involvement. The heading "Other" is used when there are several elements within a single case, with no single element being dominant to create the type. 

In the last report, we commented that we are seeing more and more clients struggling with quite severe mental health issues as a result of sustained and prolonged racial abuse. This remains unchanged. We wished people would ask for support at an earlier stage. When they ask for our support, they have already attempted many times to find a solution, but to no avail, which re-enforces the trauma caused by racism/institutional racism. We are now seeing additional pressures placed on many of our client’s wellbeing due to the impact of the pandemic and the looming cost-of-living crisis. 

Dorset REC is still seeing more complex and convoluted cases, in part due to the dedicated caseworker who has the time to thoroughly investigate and then pursue all avenues for a client, without the distraction of another job role. 

Case study 1 

Client and her husband were members of a local gym. Client had altercation with the manager and he used racially offensive terminology. He cancelled the couple’s membership saying that he did not want "her kind" in the gym and offered no refund of the membership fees already paid. 

Dorset Race Equality Council Annual Report 2021/22 



The police did interview client with caseworker present (to offer support). Her husband was also interviewed at a later date and the event was recorded as a racially aggravated incident. This in itself is not a crime so the police could take no further action. Caseworker then researched to find the actual owner of the gym since the manager would not respond to her enquiries. Eventually managed to make contact with the owner and successfully obtained a full refund of the fees for the client without the need for litigation. 

## Case study 2 

This is an ongoing case (opened April 2020) and forms an update on last year’s case study 2. 

As of last report caseworker had reached impasse with the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGO) who concluded that they had no jurisdiction to investigate the complaint against BCP she had submitted on behalf of her client. 

Caseworker (with assistance from volunteer) successfully drafted a Pre-Action Protocol letter and challenged the LGO to either re-investigate or go to Judicial Review. The LGO decided to reinvestigate and this time found in favour of client. BCP council was ordered to apologise to client, pay her compensation and to investigate caseworkers’ original complaint at council’s stage 2. 

Caseworker has supported client through the initial phase of the stage 2 investigation and has submitted a vast amount of evidence to the investigator. At time of writing, the investigator has now identified all the people they need to interview at BCP council as part of their investigation and has begun that process. We are awaiting the outcome from the inquiry. Caseworker has submitted several remedies to the investigator, which she is seeking for her client, including significant compensation, apologies, explanations, and reassurances that no one else will be subjected to the same treatment. 


We did not have many Third-party reporting, as we have been working mainly from home and lockdown restrictions were still in place. However, we did report to the police and local authority some leaflets against Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller 

encampments on occasions. We have continued being an active member of Prejudice Free Dorset and have continued meeting regularly online. We lead on the PFD Communication sub-group and are member of 5 out of 7 sub-groups. We attended all the meetings of the main partnership and lead on the sub-group meetings. As part of the Communication sub-groups, we developed a series of online messages that featured on the PFD social media during Hate Crime week. We organised and led on the 1[st] Prejudice Free Dorset Conference post pandemic. It took place on the 23[rd] March 2022 and was all about Listening to Community Voices. A new action plan was designed at the conference.

We have continued working with the policies and procedures developed for the Quality Advice Standards Accreditation and have updated some of them. We have started planning for our re-accreditation in 2023. 

Our discrimination caseworker successfully worked on the Legal Support for Litigant In Person project during this period. After a few months of difficulties due to the recording requirements of the funder (Ministry of Justice), the project embedded itself and the various caseworkers supported each other well. Our discrimination caseworker was able to refer a few cases to the Employment and the Housing caseworker, which worked well for us and the clients. The caseworkers involved in the project had regular meetings, which proved to be beneficial to all and a great source of support. 

## **Aim 2: Promote the celebration of ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity in Dorset and strengthen local ethnic minority organisations** 

2021/22 continued to be disrupted by the pandemic, as restrictions were still in place for most of 2021. Waves of increased infections took place and a lot of people from the communities we work with continued to be reluctant to mix and interact with each other. 

We had to continue being flexible and responsive to circumstances and to our community members’ needs. We were, however, able to get involved and contribute to the following projects/meetings: 

## - 

## **Together We Can** 

The meetings of the Together We Can “partnership” of local agencies in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area went from weekly to monthly in 2021. Partners felt that although most of the Covid 19 restrictions had been lifted, it was still important to catch up with each other on a regular basis. This proved particularly useful in February 2022 to discuss the support for Ukrainian refugees and the Home for Ukraine scheme and to mobilise the relevant partners. We helped BCP Council with the Welcome Pack and agreed to support the Ukrainian groups as much as possible. 

## - 

## **Dorset Community Response** 

The Dorset Community response meetings were also reduced in terms of frequency like in the BCP area but went to a fortnightly basis. They were also very useful to discuss current issues and for partners to support one another. Like in BCP, the meetings were really useful to be as pro-active as possible to put in place the home for Ukraine scheme and the support to Ukrainian support groups.

- **Events** 

We were able to attend some events as and when restrictions eased. 





We also attended the following events: 

- **Roma Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration** on the 2[nd] August 2021 

- **Africa comes to Bournemouth** on the 7[th] August 

- **World of Love Festival** on the 28[th] and 29[th] August 

- **Black History month events** organised by the South-West Dorset Multi-Cultural Network and the one organised by It is All About Culture group in October 2021 

- an event organised by **It is All About Culture and Dorset Police to launch a jointpartnership** 

- a **business networking event** in Sturminster Newton 

- an **Equality and Diversity Fair** at Weymouth College 

- **An Inclusion in football event** at Aldershot football club 

- a very interesting school conference called **Free and Equal** organised by Beyond This 

- the **Chinese New Year celebrations** in February 2022 at Bournemouth Library 


Dorset Race Equality Council Annual Report 2021/22

But we had to support some of our groups to organise their event online again. We facilitated through our Zoom account the **Bournemouth and Poole Holocaust Memorial Day** on the 23rd January 2022, as well as a **school event** for the Holocaust commemoration. We were able, however, to attend, in person, the **Holocaust Memorial Commemoration** in Bournemouth Gardens and read a poem. 

## **Dorset Community Foundation Funding** 

## - 


We supported an individual member of the Muslim community to access some funding through the Dorset Community Foundation to deliver culturally friendly food to the most vulnerable people within the ethnic minority communities. 

## - **National Lottery Reaching Community Fund** 

In the Summer of 2021, we put an application for funding to the National Lottery Reaching Community Fund to replicate the project we had run when we received some funding from the UK Community Foundation to provide some pump priming funding to give to some of the ethnic minority community groups we work with to develop their capacity. 

Following this application, we had several meetings with the National Lottery Reaching Communities adviser and other partners to discuss how we could develop a project to support the ethnic minority communities in the BCP area and make them sustainable in the future. We applied for some development funding with Community Action Network, the Dorset Community Foundation and BCP Council, to look at the barriers to engagement and to capacity and were successful in March 2022. The Empowering Communities project started in April 2022. 

## - 

## **Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Forum for Dorset** 

We attended all the meetings of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Forum for Dorset online and supported members as and when relevant and appropriate. 

## - 

## **Weymouth Together** 

We continued being an active member of the Weymouth Together partnership and attended all the meetings. We developed strong working relationships with the various members and encouraged them to look at how inclusive their offer were or were not. We provide the partnership support with becoming more inclusive. 

## - 

## **Bridport Multicultural network** 

Activities restarted in Bridport and the group restarted meeting on a monthly basis online in January 2022 and had its first face to face meeting in March 2022. New members joined but none of the members have been in a position to take the lead due to family commitments. We have tried to bring professionals and local agencies in the group to widen the local support.

## - **Know Sturminster Newton** 

We attended a few meetings in Sturminster Newton i.e. Business Breakfast networking event, meetings with local councillors and with Yassar. We had a few conversations with the Bulgarian community, but it transpired that, as they all work long days and shifts, they do not have the capacity to have a lot of social activities. As the local councillor is our chair, we decided that Pauline would alert us to any potential need in the community but would not necessarily organise regular meetings. 

## **Weymouth Global Café** 

## - 


Discussions with partners and local residents started early in 2022 to look at the development of a multicultural group for Weymouth. A lot of consultation took place with local partners and residents to find the best venue and time, and it was decided to launch the Weymouth Global Café at St Mary’s Church in April 2022. The residents wanted the group to meet on a weekly basis. 

## - **Prostate Cancer for Black Men** 

We were approached by Help and Care/Wessex Voices and the Wessex Cancer Alliance to look at how we could raise awareness of the high incidence of prostate cancer for Black men, as statistics showed that 1 in 4 Black men from the Afro Caribbean communities were more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to 1 in 8 men in other communities. We developed a series of monthly workshops where we invited Black men from the Wessex area to attend and share their views and feelings towards the subject and to co-produce solutions. A few of the men involved produced videos sharing their testimonials and their experience. A few of the community groups applied for funding from the Community Against Cancer pot and created their own project to raise awareness within their own community i.e. Nigerian, Afrodisiac … A communication toolkit was developed for community members to use. We attended a few face-to-face events and raised awareness of the project, which culminated in producing a webinar involving all the men who had co-produced the resources and clinicians who backed up the scientific information. This was a very powerful project that made a lot of difference and will continue to do so in the future. We also shared our good practice with clinicians from Liverpool who wanted to replicate our project.

## - **Insight project for the Health Inequalities Group led by Public Health Dorset** 

We applied and received some funding from Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group via Public Health Dorset to get an insight into the access to preventative health services by people from different ethnic backgrounds. People were selected according to their Covid 19 vaccination status (non-vaccinated). We ran 87 interviews in total and one focus group of 12 people. We worked in partnership with Dorset Community Action and Community Action Network who got the insights of other cohorts such as people with Severe Mental Illness and people with learning disability. We produced a joint recommendation report, which has led to a second proposal to the funders to take some of the recommendations forward. 

## - **Hong Kong British National Oversea Visa** 

In October 2021, we attended an event about the new Hong Kong British National Overseas visa and consulted with relevant communities to see if we had individuals who had this kind of visa. At the time, there were not any, but we kept ourselves informed and up to date about further developments just in case we had more newcomers to Dorset on that type of visa. 

## **Aim 3: To work towards making public, private and voluntary organisations in Dorset fully representative of and responsive to the ethnic, cultural and religious diversity of the population** 

During the year, we delivered 13 sessions of Unconscious Bias and Discrimination training to a range of statutory and voluntary organisations. We trained in excess of 200 members of staff from those organisations. 

We delivered a session about discrimination to the Chatterbox group from YMCA Bournemouth. 

We organised and led the following events on behalf of our partners: 

- 4 Black Minority Ethnic Police Consultation Groups on various topics 

- 1 forum for Equality & Diversity in Dorset on behalf of Dorset Council 

We continued working closely with Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group and our Community Health Ambassadors Network. We continued running weekly meetings until September 2021 when the frequency became monthly. Most of the work was around encouraging people to take up the vaccine and the booster. One of our health ambassadors took the initiative to organise a vaccination centre at the Mosque initially and she then negotiated with Kings Park hospital in Boscombe to have vaccination slots for people from different ethnic backgrounds. She co-ordinated all the contacts and made bookings for everybody. This enabled a lot of people to easily access the vaccine and the booster. We discussed services for long Covid support and were able to shape some of the new services, which was really positive. We started bringing different health related subjects bringing 2 different speakers each time on top of the usual update on the development of the Integrated Care System. Our Community Health Ambassadors have been at the forefront of the development of the Our Dorset (ICS) People and Community Strategy. 

We have supported the development of the Integrated Care System (ICS) in many ways: we attended all the Public Engagement Groups and contributed to the various strategies and especially the People and Community Strategy. We took part in the recruitment panel for the new ICS Chief executive and the non-executive directors. We attended and contributed to all 

Dorset Race Equality Council Annual Report 2021/22 



13 

the meetings looking at developing the Voluntary Sector Alliance to work as a partner with the ICS and have been encouraged to sit on the Governance board. We became a member of the Mental Health Integrated Community Care Health Inequalities sub-group and we attended and contributed to all the meetings of the Building Better Health Partnerships. We also supported some specific health conditions work for example, we have met regularly with the Diabetes partnership to promote their work and resources, we are supporting Steps to Well Being and Live Well Dorset in engaging with people from different ethnic backgrounds. 

We continued supporting the Open Door project which is about supporting people who are bereaved by suicide or Covid (tragic death). We are currently exploring how to communicate more effectively the existence of the service to people from different ethnic backgrounds. 

We continued to be part of the Better Life Strategic Stakeholder Group (review of Dorset Adult and Social Care Services) and we contributed to all meetings. 

We contributed to meetings of the Black South-West Network (Race Equality Action Group) and became involved in running a sub-group and supported national lobbying campaigns. 

We attended all the meetings of the EUSS (European Union Settlement Scheme) Civil Society Alliance and reported on issues faced by residents in Dorset at national level. We built strong links with the alliance and have developed a bank of legal resources to support not only Europeans but also Ukrainian refugees. 

We attended all the meetings of the Prevent Partnership Board and reported potential community tensions. 

We became a member of the Out of Courts Disposal scrutiny panel, as the Stop and Search was disbanded. We received training on Out of Courts Disposal measures and attended all the scrutiny panels. 

We became members of the R3 Recovery group looking at co-ordinating the well-being offer in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) post Covid 19. We met on a 2 monthly basis and developed workshops and various resources to support people in BCP. 

We became members of the Boscombe Well Being Hub Steering group and have been developing the concept and engagement to develop a Well Being Hub in Boscombe in partnership with the ICS and other voluntary sector organisations. 

We have attended and contributed to regular meetings of: 

- the BCP Vibrant Communities Partnership Board 

- the Safer Communities Strategic Group 

- the BCP Anti-Social Behaviour Co-ordinating Group 

- the BCP Homelessness Reduction Board Engagement Group 

- the BCP No Recourse to Public Funding sub-group 

- the BCP Council Race and Cultural Diversity Staff Network 

- the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership Board 

We were invited to take part in the Peer Review of BCP Council led by the Local Government Association. 

Dorset Race Equality Council Annual Report 2021/22 



14 

We were asked by BCP Council to organise and recruit Independent Observers for the recruitment of senior officers of the Council. 13 people from various backgrounds across the 9 protected characteristics applied and we selected 9 of them to become BCP Council’s Independent Observers. The process was successful and generated quite a lot of interest. We received 13 applications and recruited 9 people. There will be further recruitment phases in the future. 

We provided consultancy in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and supported the following organisations/businesses: 

- LUSH 

- Wiltshire Race Equality Council 

- The army 

- Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service 

- Bournemouth and Poole College Equality Advisory Board 

- 

- The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty team at Dorset Council 

## **Funding:** 

We were successful in receiving the following grants: 

- Dorset Community Foundation Household Support Fund: £6,100 on behalf of sister Tama 

- Empowering Communities – National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund: £8,095 

- Application to the Valentine’s Foundation Trust: £5,000 

- Donation from the Souter Trust following letter for funding: £3,000 

## **Future plans:**

- - Get the National Lottery Reaching Communities funding to develop the capacity and sustainability of our ethnic minority community groups in the BCP Council area. 

- Develop our capacity and expertise in terms of being able to take some of our cases to court 

We would like to thank all our members, partners and funders who have continued to support the organisation and enabled it to achieve what it has achieved.
