We are an independent expert body, established by the NHS to examine the health inequalities experienced by Black and minority ethnic communities in England. We work as a proactive investigator by actioning evidence and insight, providing evidence-based health policy recommendations, and facilitating long-term transformational change across health and care. We are data and evidence-driven, as well as factual and solution-focused.

Our independence is important to us. To effectively tackle race inequality in health and social care, individuals and policymakers need to be confident in the objectivity of our analyses and recommendations, and in our freedom to determine our own priorities.
