We’re delighted to share the success of our November meeting, where we were honoured to support the Panel in engaging directly with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM
It was an invaluable opportunity for the Panel to discuss how their work aligns with the Mayor’s!
It was a privilege to be invited to attend the @cahn_uk Black History Month Awards Gala, focusing on ending #healthinequalities and addressing the wider #disparities affecting #Caribbean and #African communities across generations.
Great start to the day for #GoodEmploymentWeek in Greater Manchester.
So pleased to support the delivery of the Greater Manchester Race Equality Panel's
#RaceEquityInEmployment event at the Mechanics Conference Centre today!

See you there!
The GM Race Equality Panel was in the building and making waves yesterday at their September meeting, hosted by IMPACT at @BNYMellon
We heard from a number of excellent speakers, looking at ways to harness social media for good, the Anti-racism Toolkit for GM Schools, the Local Transport Plan, and ways we can manage conflict and raised complaints in a constructive and impactful way.
We had the pleasure of supporting the GM Race Equality Panel to connect in person with Deputy Mayor @KateGreenSU today, to highlight key concerns impacting racialised communities and make baseline recommendations regarding how to take decisive action! Change is coming!

We are horrified by the racist and xenophobic violence and rioting in the UK over recent days, as shown on the news and social media. Read BASHH's full statement on racist and xenophobic violence in the UK ➡️ bit.ly/3Adjkoh

🔥 Just out!
👋How do you determine what counts as public engagement and research for ethics review?
What guidelines can help do public engagement ethically?
