racial equality and to the elimination of racial discrimination is set out in a public policy statement issued in 1986 which has been disseminated widely to staff and others. Every prison has now appointed a race relations liaison officer and most now have a race relations management team. Training for new officers, refresher courses for existing staff and courses for certain specialists all contain a race relations element. New arrangements have been introduced to monitor the implementation of race relations policies. 31. The probation service also has a national statement of policy and a checklist on good practice, which area probation services are developing in their own local statements. The Metropolitan Police and some other police forces have written statements of the race relations policies and a national statement is being prepared. A similar statement has been circulated for discussion in the magistrates' courts service. 32. In Scotland, a report by the Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland into conditions and arrangements for accommodating persons detained under the Immigration Act 1971 and members of ethnic minority groups was published on 5 July 1989. The Secretary of State for Scotland has accepted in principle its six main recommendations. A comprehensive policy statement on race relations within Scottish prisons is being drawn up. Guidance on other recommendations, relating to diet, information on prisoners' rights, complaints procedures and appointment of ethnic minority liaison officers, will be issued as soon as possible. 33. Progress in recruiting staff from the ethnic minorities is still disappointing. Most such staff are in the lower grades of their respective services, but the numbers are growing steadily both in the services themselves and in the range of voluntary activities which are associated with this system, for example as lay magistrates, or as members of executive or advisory committees of various kinds (see para. 367 below).
