Tower Hamlets Council is currently considering the introduction of anti-racism training for its councillors, a development within its Member Development Programme for elected members' professional development. The Standards Advisory Committee discussed this matter on 20 October 2026, prompted by previous discussions on anti-racism training and a review by Lord Mann.
The committee's discussion also referenced reports to the Health Select Committee regarding specialist anti-Semitism and anti-Islamophobia training. During the meeting, a question was raised about whether this specific type of training had been examined previously by the council.
