Policy and Research
EMF's Policy and External Affairs Team carries out a wide range of activities designed to further existing knowledge of issues affecting Britain's minority ethnic communities through evidence-based research and the dissemination and sharing of best practice. The Team conducts in-house research as well as commissioning and managing scholarly work, regularly engaging in joined-up projects with research consultants and academic institutions. In addition, we partake in public policy consultations affecting the minority ethnic sector and actively seek feedback from grass-roots organisations and groups.
