We are delighted to share this months offerings from the Staff Equalities Network on upcoming events and activities with an equalities focus that we hope will be of interest to you.

 

These sessions offer a great opportunity to learn, connect with colleagues, and get involved in promoting inclusion across our workplace. Whether you’re looking to increase your understanding or simply take part in something new, we’d love to be able to welcome you.

The workshop will be delivered in two parts. The first workshop will explore Unconscious Bias and how to recognise it.
