Home Truths 2: Race Equity Series (RES) session five continues the event series to stimulate serious action on racism in mainstream civil society. ACEVO and Voice4Change England host RES which is an integral part of their ongoing initiative aimed at challenging and addressing racial inequality in civil society
Racism in the workplace is real and harmful for those that experience it. Their research suggests that the majority of Black and Minoritised Ethnic people working in mainstream civil society have either experienced or witnessed racism in the past five years.
What’s more, is that reporting racism can make things worse. It can lead to defensive responses and institutions can make those reporting racism, rather than the racism itself, the problem.
But how do we turn this around – so that organisations come to view reporting racism as integral to becoming anti-racist? And what might a humane and life-affirming racism reporting regime look like?
Explore these questions and more in the next episode of the Race Equity Series brought to you by Sanjiv Lingayah, director of Reframing Race / Home Truths 2 Race Equity Lead, Christabelle Quaynor, policy officer at Voice4Change England and a thought-provoking guest speaker.
