APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity which promotes race equality and helps to overcome barriers by exploring discrimination and disadvantage. We are currently commissioning evidence-based briefing papers for Better Health, a project which examines race equality in health.
The papers are usually around 8 pages long (including bibliography), and although they focus on a variety of different issues and ethnic groups, overarching themes include:In particular, we are currently seeking authors for papers on the following themes:
- the obstacles to the participation and engagement of black and minority ethnic service users in health services, such as segregation, dispersal or language
- the limitations which exist in the provision of culturally, ethnically and linguistically appropriate services, especially for service users who may be in rural areas/present a significant minority
- the impact of personal or institutional racism upon black and minority ethnic service users and staff
- the intersections between age, disability, gender, faith, poverty and ethnicity
- best practice examples to tackle discrimination and disadvantage
If you are interested in producing a paper, please send us with a short blurb or 4-5 bullet points to outline the content/structure of the paper.
- ethnicity, public health and preventative measures
- the interaction between ethnicity, health, work and worklessness
- effective use of the NHS Constitution
