It comprised of a Strategy Team, CRE Sponsorship Section, Racist Crime Section, Religious Issues Section, Grants Section, European, International and General Policy Section, Championship for Women Section and a unit for race relations and support for displaced overseas refugees. The latter used the VSU, VCU and VCD Prefixes which formed the HO 494 Series. |
