Deputy Tom Sleigh, who serves on the committee as an ex-officio Member as Chair of the Barbican Centre Board, addressed the allegations of racism at the Barbican Centre. Deputy Sleigh advised the Committee that these allegations were being taken very seriously, and that a sub-committee had been established to address them. The sub-committee’s Terms of Reference were being developed to review various processes, including HR, and to ensure the right people were positioned in the Barbican to address institutional racism. Deputy Sleigh would keep the Committee informed of developments going forward.
