Race Awareness

Race is a protected characteristic that refers to an individual’s race, colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origins. This session is targeted at supporting participants to work positively in a racially diverse environment. 

We will consider a number of questions, aim to discover new things and leave with a personal plan to ensure that racism stops with each one of us. 

What do we cover?

• Raise awareness of the consequences of racism and discrimination and consider the effects on individuals, teams and organisations
• Challenge some of the common stereotypes, misconceptions, and prejudicial attitudes, and think consciously about how to reinforce a more positive approach
• Raise awareness of the nine protected characteristics with a focus on race, religion and belief
• Understand the different types of discrimination and unlawful behaviour
• Explore how prejudice, stereotypes, unconscious bias, beliefs, values, and attitudes drive our behaviour
• Recognise the benefits of embracing difference
• Consider individual and organisational responsibilities around these protected groups
• Empower you to take action when you identify racism by developing your knowledge and skills, so that you can feel more confident when discussing matters of race.
