The Northern Ireland Executive Office Committee has launched a survey on equality law in Northern Ireland.

🎙️ If you are responding, why not listen to our Making Equality a Priority podcast focusing on equality law reform in Northern Ireland.

In this episode, broadcaster Maggie Taggert talks to health and social care professionals about their experiences of racial harassment in the workplace from patients and visitors.

Kathryn Barr, our senior policy officer, outlines proposed changes to racial equality legislation. She explains how these reforms will strengthen legal protections against racial discrimination.
