PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL 

Camden Council is taking action to address the unequal impacts of COVID-19 on

Camden’s Black, Asian and minority ethnic residents.

The Council has published a report of early findings, which includes evidence that some of Camden’s Black, Asian and minority ethnic residents are more likely to have certain long-term health conditions that increase risk to COVID-19, are more likely to live in overcrowded homes and are more at risk of unemployment.

Residents have reported that theirmental wellbeing is being severely affected, and there are concerns around the impact on children’s education.

Read the findings so far at camden.gov.uk/disproportionalityreport – If you would like to share your experiences, email cohesionandequalities@camden.gov.uk

There will be further opportunities to get involved as the Council works with residents, public health and the voluntary and community sector to develop actions to address racial inequality in Camden.
