<p>We are committed to publishing routinely progress on the implementation of the
Lammy Review and, as of 16 June 2020, the status of the recommendation are as follows:</p><p>
</p><p>Out of the 35 recommendations;</p><p>i. 16 have been completed (2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 22, 23, 33, 35)</p><p>ii. 17 recommendations are still
in progress, of which:</p><ol><li>1 recommendation is in the initial stages (34),</li><li>11
recommendations aim to be completed within 6 – 12 months (15, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25,
26, 27, 28, 29, 30)</li><li>5 recommendations will take longer than 12 months to be
completed (1, 9, 10, 31, 32)</li></ol><p>iii. In the Government’s response to the
Review in December 2017, it was stated that two recommendations specific to a target
for judicial appointments and appraisal (14, 16) would not be taken forward.</p><p>The
Government is committed to advancing each recommendation of the Review in some way
and where a recommendation could not be implemented in full or exactly as set out,
alternative approaches have been sought to achieve the same aim. The Government’s
response also identified actions going beyond the Review’s recommendations. Progress
on recommendations and additional actions, and decisions on other areas of disparity
where the principle of “explain or change” needs to apply, are overseen by a CJS Race
and Ethnicity Board. The Board was created in response to the Review.</p><p>The Government
provided a detailed public update on progress against each of the 35 recommendations
of the Lammy Review, and the other related activities, in February 2019 in the “Tackling
racial disparity in the Criminal Justice System” update: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-racial-disparity-in-the-criminal-justice-system-2020"
