Question
What consideration has the Welsh Government given to introducing statutory duties requiring organisations receiving Welsh Government grants or public contracts to demonstrate how they contribute to the objectives of the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)
We are not currently proposing statutory duties requiring organisations receiving Welsh Government grants or public contracts to demonstrate their contribution to ArWAP. However, this Government is keeping ArWAP under active review, including through the current light-touch review, to identify how we can strengthen delivery and impact using the levers, powers and mechanisms available to us, including grants, public contracts and remit letters. The Welsh Government also expects all public sector organisations, businesses and third sector organisations in receipt of public sector funding to uphold its core values, behaviours and cultures.
