This report looks at how people from ethnic minority groups working across social care in Wales can be supported to progress in their careers.

This research is in line with the aspiration that workers from all backgrounds can flourish and progress within social care environments in Wales.

The report considers the issues around anti-racist practice in the workplace.  It also proposes some practical solutions for employers to support progression of those from minority ethnic groups, including white minority groups such as gypsy Roma and traveller groups. 

Our aim is to support people to thrive in the workplace, and not just survive.

This research was carried out by the Institute of Public Care (IPC), part of Oxford Brookes University on behalf of Social Care Wales.
