In response to the recent far-right violence in the UK, housing providers have a pivotal role in standing up against racism and supporting staff as well as tenants who have been directly impacted. Join this session for a frank discussion on the immediate steps communication teams can take to tackle systemic challenges around workplace equality, personal bias and exclusionary culture: 

• Challenging racism and actively changing the policies, behaviours, and beliefs that perpetuate racist ideas and actions. What is the role of communicators in making this happen?
• How can organisations be more specific in tackling islamophobia and supporting Muslim colleagues with increasing pressures both inside and outside the workplace. 
• Tapping into the knowledge and perspectives of our communities to help organisations be effective advocates for anti-racism.
