Introduction
This briefing offers an overview of anti-racist systems leadership. It does not shy away from the complexities and challenges of tackling the roots of racism. Enduring disparities and inequitable outcomes persist, systems leadership working together could and should eradicate these inequalities. The briefing aims to:
- Support leaders in developing critical thinking to understand how systemic racism is constructed and perpetuated in policies, tools and practice within individual organisations and partnerships.
- Provide important concepts and signpost to research and resources that illustrate the multi-layered impact of racism within communities, workforces and across local public service systems.
- Offer tools to enable partners to establish themselves with anti-racist systems leaders and case study examples of local system’s development.
