Diversity Festival to launch Anti-Racism Plan
Colleagues across Grampian are taking part in NHS Grampian’s first ever Diversity Festival on 4th October, as part of our Speak Up Month activities.
The theme for this year’s one-day event is race. culture and 'breaking barriers' and it will see the launch of what is believed to be the first Anti-Racism Plan of any health board in Scotland.
NHS Grampian has a longstanding commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. The event is part of achieving progress as a workplace and a community where everyone feels supported, included and empowered to make their best contribution.
Awareness raising is a fundamental part of this, and the event will help colleagues across the organisation to learn more about the importance of an inclusive workplace culture, share examples of lived experience, discuss ‘speaking up’ and learn more about key principles of antiracism and allyship such as Unconscious Bias and Active Bystander interventions.
In addition to the event itself, a series of online sessions will be open to staff in the days and weeks that follow to ensure as many colleagues as possible can benefit from the presentations. Watch this space.
In the meantime, you can keep up to date by checking the Staff Equalities Network webpage at: Staff Equalities Network (nhsgrampian.org)
