Target Audience - BCC Adult Social Care Managers at Grades 4 and 5
These development sessions will be held using Microsoft Teams
The Directorate continues to support the organisation’s commitment to tackling racism and discrimination in the workplace. The next stage of the strategy will be for managers and officers at GR4 and 5 to attend facilitated equality, diversity and inclusion development sessions.
Change can be facilitated best when individuals and teams feel safe and supported in the change processes. This is important as ASC moves toward culture, systems and processes that address the racial disparities in the workforce data. The intention is for these workshops to be open to all, not segregated by race.
