Black, Asian and minority ethnic network
Connecting Black, Asian and minority ethnic magistrates to create an inclusive magistracy.
How the networks work
Our diversity and inclusion networks:
- Provide opportunities for magistrates from underrepresented groups to network with their peers across England and Wales.
- Generate discourse around the issues affecting magistrates from underrepresented groups (who are members of the MA) and advise, inform and work with the MA to address these issues.
- Advise and inform the work of the MA with the relevant government bodies on the creation of routes to the recruitment and retention of magistrates from underrepresented groups.
Each group is governed by an elected executive comprising a chair and two deputy chairs.
You must be an MA member to participate in our diversity and inclusion networks.
Our networks
The MA has given young magistrates a vital platform to spread the word about the issues that are important to us and has provided a safe space for us to connect with other magistrates and build a case for change.
