<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nOn 7th<\/sup> June, Welsh Government launched its Anti-racist Wales Action Plan<\/a><\/span> \u2013 a historic <\/span>and highly ambitious plan and vision for Wales. In this blog we consider the challenge and practice we can build on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tai Pawb was pleased to support the development of Anti-racist Wales Action Plan, helping both Welsh Government and our members consider the opportunities it offers.\u00a0The plan is challenging – and rightly so.<\/p>\n The Welsh public and social sector – housing included – prides itself on being values-based but to date, the plan highlights, these values have not been translated into long term, sustainable and tangible change which could be seen on a Wales-wide scale. This has certainly been the message from hundreds of Black, Asian and ethnic minority people who co-created the plan.<\/p>\n From a housing perspective, we know bluntly that we need to be better at this; to work harder and differently, if we are to turn those values into actions with real impact. This will require a concerted commitment and effort, coupled with investment of time and resource. As a sector, we want to look at this plan in 10 years\u2019 time and be proud of what we have achieved. And there is a lot to focus on:<\/p>\n In the past year or so we have seen some positive changes and Anti-racist Wales Plan gives us the opportunity and impetus to strengthen our resolve and commitment \u2013 so that our words translate into actions and sustainable change; change that is supported and championed by leaders in every organisation. This must be felt and experienced by our ethnic minority colleagues, tenants and communities in every corner of Wales.<\/p>\n There are positive signs of progress from policy and practice initiatives and we need to share, replicate and build on some of this great work:<\/p>\n Tai Pawb is committed to building a better and more inclusive Wales. So let\u2019s keep the momentum gained in the past two years and do everything we can to help build an Anti-racist Wales together.<\/p>\n If you work in housing, are from a racially minoritised background and would like to contribute to influencing change:<\/p>\nThe challenge<\/h3>\n
