We should be able to bring our whole self to work. It’s good for mental wellbeing and good for business. Many people who experience racial inequality have to hide parts of their identity in the workplace. Half of Black Britons say they are just as likely to have experienced racism at work as on the street
This course will introduce and deepen your understanding of race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity. You will discover the complex lived realities of race and ethnic diversity in British society and explore institutional racism, systemic social inequalities, and patterns of discrimination in the workplace.
In this course you will learn to call out/challenge everyday racism and discrimination, inequalities in the workplace and develop robust strategies for tackling racial inequality
This course is available as an In-House Course and we also run it regularly as an Open Course
