The Mayor has a role to play in leading, shaping and responding to changes in London through the work of the GLA group. Inclusive London: the Mayor's equality, diversity and inclusion strategy sets out how he will help address the inequalities, barriers and discrimination experienced by groups protected by the Equality Act 2010, as well as wider issues. These include poverty and socio-economic inequality, and the challenges and disadvantage facing groups like young people in care, care leavers, single parents, migrants and refugees. This report, the equality, diversity and inclusion evidence base for London, informs the strategy. It presents evidence on London's diverse population, as well as the inequalities experienced by Londoners in areas such as housing, education, employment, transport, crime, health, social integration, culture and sport.

This dataset supports the Mayor's equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy published in 2018. It brings together publicly available data relevant to equalities in London into a series of measures. These will be updated over time to monitor the delivery of the strategy. After the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020, there was a need to capture and bring together appropriate data and research to monitor London through the recovery period. As a result, the GLA set up the London Covid-19 Resilience Dashboard and inequalities in London were monitored through this, while updates of the original EDI measures were discontinued. In November 2022 the Mayor published a new set of equality objectives to replace those published in the original strategy from 2018. As a result, the EDI measures have been adapted to reflect these new objectives and these will be updated on a regular basis. A series of dashboards has also been created from the latest set of EDI measures, which enable users to visualise the data. The Mayor's Annual Equality Reports set out the progress made against the latest equality, diversity and inclusion objectives published in November 2022.

The Inclusive Talent Strategy (ITS) sets out our vision for a fairer, more inclusive approach to workforce development across London. To ensure the strategy is grounded in robust insight and reflects the voices of Londoners and businesses, we have compiled a comprehensive set of supporting materials on this page. Evidence Base: The detailed evidence base draws on a wide range of data sources and literature. The document was used to support the development of the ITS and Get London Working Plan and provides insights into current inequalities in labour market outcomes, barriers faced by underrepresented groups, and opportunities to improve access to good work. Consultation Summary: The GLA and London Councils engaged extensively with stakeholders across London to shape the strategy. The consultation process included roundtables and written submissions from employers, community organisations and education providers. The summary presented here captures the key themes, concerns, and recommendations raised during this engagement. Talk London Campaign: To ensure the strategy reflects the lived experiences of Londoners, the GLA and London Councils ran a public engagement campaign through Talk London. Residents shared their views on what inclusive talent means to them, the challenges they face, and the changes they want to see. The campaign helped us understand the everyday realities of navigating work, education, and opportunity in the capital. Together, these materials demonstrate our commitment to transparency, evidence-led decision-making, and meaningful engagement. They show how the Inclusive Talent Strategy has been shaped by both data and dialogue—and how it aims to deliver real change for London’s diverse communities.

This is a qualitative data collection. The research used online survey and face-to-face interviews of British Chinese respondents.

A survey by the Guardian in early 2005 revealed the low level of integration among Chinese people, who reportedly felt the least British among all minority groups in Britain. The issue is usually overlooked in relation to a group which appears to be well integrated and successful in higher education. In addressing the cultural and political marginality of the British Chinese, this study explores the emergence of British Chinese web sites and their potential to enhance the social inclusion and political participation of British Chinese people.

The project sought to explore these new forms of participation such as discussion forums and online petitions. The ability of online communication to connect a dispersed population is particularly significant for the British Chinese, as unlike many other minority ethnic populations, they are highly scattered throughout Britain, with no local authority area having more than 2% of its residents as Chinese. This research addressed two key questions: How are ethnic identities shaped by the communicative practices and social networks developed in these internet forums? Does contributing to these British Chinese sites enable new forms of participation and offer evidence of an emergent ‘second-generation’ civil society?

The key findings of the study suggest that 1) For many British Chinese users, access to the social networks (online and offline) and information resources on these sites provided a key means of meeting other British Born Chinese people (BBC). 2) These British Chinese internet sites facilitated reflection on experiences of racism, minority status, and belonging, and provided an empathetic arena to reflect on the issues raised by living in a multicultural context. 3) The varied exchanges on these web sites reveal how users are grappling with the disjuncture between the simplistic ideal of ‘integration’ and the complex reality behind the seemingly unproblematic lives of well ‘integrated’ minority Britons. 4) Participation on these internet sites is creating the infrastructure to constitute an emergent British Chinese civil society, and is drawing a hitherto underrepresented group into the public domain. Various political initiatives have been mobilized via these web sites, both online and offline. 5) The content and communications stimulated by these British Chinese internet sites have not overcome a lack of understanding of, and engagement with, the formal political process among the British Chinese.

Further information about the project may be found on the British Chinese On-line Identities: Participation and Inclusion ESRC award web page.

This systematic mapping protocol forms part of a project being undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Sheffield, which aims to inform and support the focus on diversity and inclusion in Wellcome Trust’s new strategic plan.

The review aims to “undertake a systematic and critical review of the evidence base for a positive relationship between a diverse and inclusive health research community and the qualities and impacts of the research they undertake”.

This protocol sets out our plan for the review in terms of the literature search and how the retrieved literature will be screened for inclusion in the main review, extracted and then assessed.
