It places the voices and lived experiences of ethnic minority people at the centre of all anti-racist policies and actions. The plan sets a goal to embed anti-racist culture and practices in every further education (FE) institution in Wales. To help set a baseline for this work, the Welsh Government commissioned the Black Leadership Group and ColegauCymru to undertake an initial scoping study, to help prepare for a programme of equality research, analysis and development for the further education sector that could be delivered from 2022-23.The Welsh Government wishes to commission research, co-constructed and co-delivered by minority ethnic people, to strengthen its understanding of further education learner and staff experiences of racism.A budget of up to PS100,000, excluding VAT will be made available for the purposes of this contract: indicative budget for each Lot was PS45,000 to PS50,000.Lot No 1Qualitative research designed to better understand the lived experiences of ethnic minority learners and staff in the FE, apprenticeship and adult learning sectors, including their experiences of racial discrimination and harassment and their views on what needs to change in order to achieve the anti-racist Wales ambition.Lot No 2Design and testing of a bank of survey questions that can be used to provide evidence of the experiences of learners and staff of all ethnicities.
