Haringey Council formally recognised its Latin American community in July 2025, aiming to use data to inform policy.

Haringey Council formally recognised its Latin American community in July 2025, with a motion approved at a Full Council meeting on 21 July 2025. The council aims to use data gathered to inform policy changes and resource allocation for the community, which accounted for over 10,000 residents in Haringey in 2021. This decision addresses issues of statistical invisibility and economic disparity, as highlighted by the motion.

This recognition supports the ongoing project to include an official Latin American category in the next UK Census, a nationwide survey conducted every 10 years. The council's action, proposed by Councillor Ruth Gordon and seconded by Councillor Ajda Ovat, aims to ensure better representation and data collection for the community in future surveys.
