Police race action plan for England and Wales could be sidelined, monitor says

Concern raised that end of central funding and of monitor's oversight could lead to post-BLM plan being deprioritised

A police race action plan for England and Wales, which was partly a response to the Black Lives Matter movement, is at risk of being deprioritised when central funding finishes, a monitoring group has said.

The Independent Scrutiny and Oversight Board (ISOB) fears that local forces have not been adequately prepared to take over responsibility for the plan when central police funding and oversight ends at the end of March next year.
