Creating an Anti-Racist Wales Conference |
Cardiff
Wednesday 27th September 2023
09:30 - 15:30
Building an anti-racist society is an enormous commitment, as demonstrated by the scope of the Welsh Government’s Anti-Racist Action Plan. Join Senedd Insight’s Creating an Anti-Racist Wales Conference to discuss how we can make anti-racism a reality.
All Welsh organisations have a vital role to play in ensuring their anti-racist action plans are as actionable and as up-to-date as possible. What do Welsh public service providers and workplaces need to do to fulfil their role in combatting racism through anti-racist cultures, and the design of anti-racist services?
Data gathering is important to combat racism because we cannot solve a problem we have not yet identified. At our conference you will learn from Network Rail Wales and Western Region how to use data to identify gaps in representation for Black and Minority Ethnic people in your organisation. Diverse Cymru will share how to embed cultural competence into your organisation and drive unconscious bias out of it. A speaker from the Welsh Government, and Welsh public service providers, will cover anti-racism in practice.
Anti-racism extends beyond the workplace, you will learn how to become an active ally in all elements of your life. You’ll hear about a wider range of policy actions relating to workplaces, human rights, education, safety, housing, health and social care, sport, culture, and community cohesion.
