Chris Robson

Getting it Right - we are all learning.

The session is designed to be an accessible introduction to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and it will cover what DEI is, why it is important, and some key concepts. DEI can polarise people, it can seem inaccessible or scary, some don't see the value of engaging with it, or believe it's better that others engage with it; this session is designed to help tackle those challenges. We ALL have a vital part to play in shaping a brighter future for everyone!
