Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any work they intend to undertake during the current financial year, specifically on the topic of racial equality.

Answer:

Whilst work will progress to complete the public consultation on the draft Framework, analyse responses and develop a final draft Framework for Executive consideration, work will be ongoing in parallel to continue to enhance race relations aligned to the draft framework and delivery plan.

This will include the development of preventative and early interventions to enhance community cohesion through the Community Cohesion Group, continued delivery of the Minority Ethnic Development Fund alongside the development of a future approach to funding and continued delivery of the Refugee Integration Strategy.
