Unequal impact of COVID-19: BAME disproportionality
This slide pack covers lived experience from schools and the voluntary sector covering a number of emerging issues arising from our schools relating to disadvantaged children and families, which can often be attributed to the experiences of our Black, Asian and other or mixed ethnicity communities.

Data covers opportunities for Black, Asian and other or mixed ethnicity graduates from a Carnegie UK Trust report. It also covers first hand experiences of young people through roundtable discussions with a group of young people including Camden’s Youth MPs joined by Cllr Georgia Gould and Sir Keir Starmer MP.

Unequal impact of COVID-19: BAME disproportionality
Addressing the disproportionate impact of the pandemic is a shared endeavour and we want our residents, particularly our Black, Asian, and minority ethnic residents, to play an active role in our response.

This slide pack shows that we will support them to do so by:
• Using cross-channel communications tactics and reaching out to all Camden residents to make sure everyone is informed and given the opportunity to engage;
• Encouraging residents to share their lived experience of Covid-19 and help us garner the evidence we need to take action;
• Encouraging residents to work with us and our partners to shape and deliver the actions in our plan and act as a critical friend to make sure we stay true to our objectives and deliver the change we are promising.

New analysis on cancer screening inequality (January 2022) - Appendix
The Camden and Islington Public Health Intelligence team has recently completed an equity analysis to explore existing disparities in cancer screenings looking at the North Central London population groups before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This analysis highlights the differences in both bowel screening coverage and cervical screening coverage between certain groups (for example, by gender, age, race/ethnicity and disability status) and GP practice level. There is also an association with deprivation, and lower bower screening coverage is seen in those who smoke, those who are obese, and those with a mental health condition (both depression or severe mental health).
This analysis will help identify opportunities for local strategies and prevention to help improve overall cancer screening, and reduce inequity gaps.
