ABSTRACT
In April, 1984, the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) issued a Code of Practice covering the field of employment. The CRE also regularly distributes grants to numerous ethnic minority organisations and race relations bodies, and to a number of law centres. Its 1990 Report lists 107 reports and leaflets covering arts and media, education, employment, housing, health and social services, administration of justice, and formal investigations. Training, dismissal, terms of employment, grievances disputes, cultural and religious needs, language training, racial monitoring—all are included in the sort of approach the CRE favours. In addition to the injunction to engage in perpetual racial monitoring, the CRE also urges local authorities, firms, and organisations to set "numerical targets" for the employment of people from the ethnic minorities. In December, 1981 the CRE decided to make a study of "some aspects of employment procedures used in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees".
