We also hear from Rosie Redstone about her experience with dyslexia and similarly how things she has learnt and discovered has impacted on her work in the NHS.

Where do we go with race equality Now in 2021?
COVID-19 and its impact on BAME communities has been unprecedented. March 2021 saw the publication by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities of a report investigating race and ethnic disparities in the UK.
In this event speakers and attendees discuss how we can work together to use this opportunity to build a more equal and fair society in which diverse workforces and inclusive workplaces are the norm.
JS Associates were asked to bring together partners from the NHS and the Fire and Policy Services. This event was a true collaboration between diverse sectors keen to share knowledge and to learn and make progress on race quality. Speakers from the NHS, the Fire & Rescue Service, Police, Ambulance and local government shared their insights and their hopes for the future.
The first half of the event looked at where major organisations in the UK are in respect of race equality and the second half looked at what evidence-based solutions there are to help make a real difference.
