REPORT
OF THE NNREC CHAIR
John Vinookumar
In this
report I wish to bring the full council up to date on the major
action outputs in the past 12 months. I am indeed proud of what
has been achieved and of the way the NNREC works in partnership
with mutual respect and support. We have already begun the work
programme for 2000/2001 and future action depending upon maintaining
the equalities partnership as exemplified at the ‘Next Steps
for Norfolk - Stephen Lawrence Conference’, which took place
in November 1999. I begin with that output in my list of last
year’s major work programme outputs.
