EDI - beyond ticking the box

An issue that affects us all

Join us for an engaging, practical workshop exploring how VCSE organisations can break down barriers and create more inclusive, equitable environments. Inequalities affect every sector, and this session will help you understand how to recognise exclusion, challenge bias, and foster a culture where everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.

By the end of the workshop, you will have:

• A clear understanding of your legal responsibilities around equality, diversity and inclusion
• Explored how beliefs, values and unconscious bias shape behaviour
• Gained confidence discussing EDI issues and building cultural competence
• Identified ways your organisation can create a more inclusive environment.

This is also a great chance to connect with peers from across the region.

This session is perfect for anyone in VCSE organisation in North Yorkshire - trustees, chairs, CEOs, staff or volunteers - who wants to strengthen inclusion in their organisation.
