Session overview

Due to popular demand, this is a re-run of the session first held in April! 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, and some believe that it's better that they leave others to engage with it; this session is designed to help tackle those challenges. This is an easy-to-understand introduction to DEI, aimed at anyone and everyone, to ensure that we can all understand and engage effectively with DEI. We ALL have a vital part to play in shaping a brighter future for everyone!
