The BLM movement shook the world in 2020 following the tragic death of George Floyd, with sport taking a strong stand in unity against racism.

Black History Month is celebrated all around the world at different times of the year. In the UK we dedicate October to this.

Being Antiracist takes courage and action. It is about visibly challenging discrimination and engaging in conversations that will lead to action and change.

An inclusive organisation is one where everyone has a clear understanding of acceptable forms of behaviour and where there are a range of effective mechanisms in place, should the line be crossed.

The pressure that many Black colleagues feel during Black History Month and how to prevent burnout.
What meaningful action can and should look like.
How to avoid using Black History Month to virtue signal and instead ensure that your anti-racism work continues throughout the year as a core part of your organisational DNA.
Islamophobia is prevalent in the UK today. It can come in the form of microaggressions to hate crimes, including stereotyping, bullying, verbal comments, discrimination, barriers to employment, inaccessible policies, harmful media portrayal, physical violence and in many other ways. This November, Islamophobia Awareness Month, we’d like to highlight and raise awareness of what our Muslim colleagues are facing on a daily basis and how to empathise, support and ally them so that we can create an inclusive workplace for all.
