The topic for January’s Best Practice Group is Inclusive Leadership. To improve Diversity and Inclusion within our organisations, the leaders in the organisation need to be committed, and they can show their commitment through Inclusive Leadership. Many leaders would like to be Inclusive Leaders but few are. Most of those who would like to be don’t understand what behaviours model Inclusive Leadership. Come to the Best Practice Group for an insight into what Inclusive Leadership is and how you can support your leaders to develop their ability to be Inclusive Leaders.

 As usual the majority of the Best Practice group will be taken up with the issues participants bring, that they wish to discuss. Bring your questions, challenges and successes about Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and get insights into those issues from other participants who may be facing similar situations. Together we can improve our practice.
