Lets talk about racism and barriers to career progression
The killing of George Floyd in the United States in 2020 and its galvanising impact on the Black Lives Matter movement sharpened global attention on the issue of racism. We have collaborated with three practice leaders to explore how racism has affected their professional lives, and what needs to change.
Rashida Baig MBE (Head of Service) and Brian Amos (Service Manager) from the London Borough of Croydon met with Nimal Jude (Practice Development Manager) from SCIE and reflected together as part of an unscripted discussion which was filmed.
This first film explores barriers to career progression.
