Government Response and follow on investigations
The review was published in September 2017 and the government published the first Race Disparity Audit (RDA) in October 2017[4]. The RDA found that children in Black and Asian households were around twice as likely to be in persistent poverty, with 1 in 4 children in Asian households and 1 in 5 children in Black households in persisten poverty, compared to 1 in 10 children in White households. It stated that Black, Pakistani and Bangladeshi people were especially likely to live in areas of deprivation.
The government then issued a response document in December 2017. [5]
