Beyond a numbers game explores how we can improve the recruitment, retention and progression of racially minoritised staff and how to build inclusive working cultures across the Criminal Justice System. This report comes at a time of unprecedented scrutiny for our criminal justice system in relation to its record, practice and impacts on racially minoritised communities. Recent thematic reviews from Inspectorate bodies, an inability to make sustained progress in addressing racial disproportionality and the crisis across policing, which has recently culminated in Baroness Casey’s Review of the Met Police have made this matter all more urgent.
