REPORT OF THE NNREC CHAIR
John Vinookumar In this report I wish to bring the full council up to date on the major action outputs in the past 12 months. I am indeed proud of what has been achieved and of the way the NNREC works in partnership with mutual respect and support. We have already begun the work programme for 2000/2001 and future action depending upon maintaining the equalities partnership as exemplified at the ‘Next Steps for Norfolk - Stephen Lawrence Conference’, which took place in November 1999. I begin with that output in my list of last year’s major work programme outputs.
