Understand how Allyship can help to promote an inclusive culture in organisations at this 90-minute workshop.
For many years housing organisations have been trying to improve equality, diversity and inclusion. This has been given new impetus in the last 18 months by the unequal effects of the pandemic and by the Black Lives Matter movement. This workshop will look at the part allyship has to play in supporting inclusion.
Allyship is central to creating inclusive cultures, where discrimination and disadvantage is challenged and tackled. By supporting marginalised individuals and groups, allyship can improve engagement and productivity and foster a culture of better understanding and awareness, and the ability to move forward on issues of equality, diversity and inclusion.
