Recommendation

That the Home Office together with Police Services should publish recognised standards of training aims and objectives in the field of racism awareness and valuing cultural diversity.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
No specific published evidence has been identified from the provided official sources demonstrating that the Home Office and Police Services have published recognised standards of training aims and objectives in racism awareness and valuing cultural diversity. General searches on GOV.UK for 'train police officers' yielded many results but none specifically confirm action on this Macpherson recommendation (gov.uk search results, 2026-03-24). The lack of specific, verifiable evidence suggests no public progress reporting since the inquiry in 1999.
