Good Race Relations Guide

Under the Race Relations Act 1976 (RRA), public authorities have a statutory general duty to promote race equality. The duty is made up of three distinct parts: to work to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity, and to promote good race relations.

This guidance explains what is meant by ‘good race relations’, and suggests steps that public authorities may take to achieve it. While each part of the race equality duty is distinct, the three strands are interdependent. The steps public authorities take to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity should also be designed to promote good race relations and this is reflected in the specific guidance we give under each section of this guide.
