Anti-racism training
Tower Hamlets Council is currently discussing the need for specialist anti-racism training for its staff.
In July 2026, a Tower Hamlets councillor called for specialist anti-racism training for local authority staff. Councillor Abu Talha Chowdhury highlighted that while general equalities and diversity training is provided, the council does not offer a specific anti-racism course. This call was made during a Tower Hamlets Council Standards Advisory Committee meeting.
The councillor's call drew parallels with recommendations from the Mann Review, which advocates for specialist anti-racism training for individuals who consider complaints. There are no upcoming meetings currently scheduled to discuss anti-racism training at Tower Hamlets Council.
