Liverpool City Council has taken a significant step forward in its ongoing efforts to address racial inequality by appointing Inclusivitii, a leading diversity and inclusion organization that will support the development of an anti-racism strategy for the city and council. This appointment is a pivot point in the council’s drive to create a more inclusive, fair, and united Liverpool.

The council, in collaboration with its partners, has vowed to tackle these challenges through meaningful action, guaranteeing that residents, service users, and employees, regardless of their background, can flourish.
Public consultations will be held in the coming months, providing residents, community groups, business owners, and employees the opportunity to contribute actively to shaping the strategy. The council’s Safer and Stronger Communities Team, meanwhile, will continue to support and empower communities, embedding anti-racism values across the city.
Inclusivitii will also collaborate with Liverpool City Council to help the organization become actively anti-racist.
