Subject

Equality Diversity & Inclusion

Description

The things that underpin allyship are also the fundamentals that underpin what it means to be inclusive, so this is an important learning session to attend, whatever your long term intentions are about being an ally. In this session we will look at what allyship is and what it isn’t; look at why intersectionality is important and what it really means; help you to begin to understand privilege and what it means and explore steps you can take to begin your allyship journey. This session is aimed at trainers and trainees.

Additional information

These learning sessions were originally developed as a tool to help build colleagues capability in understanding the various topics connected to Diversity & Inclusion; they go back to basics and make no assumptions about what people may or may not know. There are elements of audience participation, some sessions more than others, and colleagues can use whatever function they feel happiest, be that unmuting and speaking or popping things into the chat box. The most important element of these sessions are that they are safe spaces for you to learn and discuss. There is no such thing as a silly question!
