Welcome to all the new followers to the original BME/BAME NHS twitter profile aimed at sharing, learning, supporting and challenging. Inclusive and intersectional issues included. #BlackLivesMattters

Check out my latest article: Investigating the investigators linkedin.com/pulse/investiga… via @LinkedIn
This profile has stood for equality, inclusion and kindness. Since the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk and his stance politically we have decided that we should no longer be active in his platform. Every account is his currency and value. Twitter has become a place for hate
This is not a judgment on people who choose to stay but there are other platforms that do not build or support these dangerous and divisive views. Twitter/X is no longer a balanced platform for communication. It’s becoming a place of hatred and division and we will not be part of

Any investigation into people’s experiences of very deep poverty that does not consider the racialised experiences of minority ethnic groups will be hopelessly incomplete.

ALT "Focusing only on these well-known drivers to understand poverty for Bangladeshi, Black African and Pakistani people no longer holds up. Other factors are clearly at play - including ongoing structural inequalities and direct discrimination and racism. We must constantly dig deeper to understand the relationship between racial injustice and poverty." Paul Kissack, Chief Executive for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

-Pakistani and Bangladeshi families are still around three times more likely to be living in very deep poverty for a long time.
-Black African families are still around twice as likely to be living in very deep poverty for a long time. 5/6

There are significant underlying and unquantified factors beyond standard poverty predictors, as higher risks of persistent very deep poverty remain for people from these ethnic minority backgrounds compared to white families after controlling for usual predictors. ⬇️ 4/6

Some 6% of white private and social renters are in persistent very deep poverty
This rises to 15% for Bangladeshi and Pakistani social renters.
For Pakistani private renters it is 17%, rising to 20% for Black African private renters. 🏘️ 3/6

Even after considering well-known risk factors there are still significant unexplained reasons why families from these groups are in persistent very deep poverty compared to white families.
And protective factors are less effective compared to white people. 🔽 2/6

Bangladeshi, Black African and Pakistani families are up to 5x more likely to be living in severe poverty for a long time compared to white families in the UK 📢
We've carried out new research to understand what these families experience and why they have this elevated risk 1/6

Great. Bring it on. Long overdue.
I have seen too many conscientious staff who have raised legitimate concerns having their careers wrecked and health ruined.

Of course, legislation on its own wont change culture, but frankly on this issue, I've had enough of ducking and diving, avoidance and denial by leaders, and seen too many good honourable people (including some leaders) destroyed whilst wrongdoing goes unaddressed
