Abstract

This report presents research exploring the experiences of workers in health and social care during COVID-19 commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to support a statutory inquiry under Section 16 and Schedule 2 of the Equality Act 2006. The primary focus for the inquiry is health and adult social care across the UK because of the high rates of infection and death from COVID-19 in these sectors1. The research is based upon 44 interviews with largely Black and Ethnic Minority (BME) health and social care workers and four focus groups across Britain. The research aims to feed into evidence-based recommendations for action to tackle entrenched racial inequalities that have left BME workers concentrated in the lowest paid sectors and jobs and therefore most vulnerable when the pandemic arrived. The report consciously aims to reflect the experiences of health and social care workers and to privilege their voices.
