Race Equality Charter Governance Committee

The Race Equality Charter Governance Committee informs and oversees the development of the Charter, including systems and processes, panels, materials and support to ensure the future REC is as effective and supportive as possible.

Following the recently published report of the independent review of the UK Race Equality Charter (REC), Advance HE has established a Race Equality Charter Governance Committee to inform and oversee the development of the Charter. This development work will consider all aspects of the Charter, including systems and processes, panels, materials and support to ensure the future REC is as effective and supportive as possible. 



Advance HE has appointed 12 members, including two co-Chairs, to the new Race Equality Charter Governance Committee with a wide range of equality, diversity and inclusion skills and lived experience.
