The leadership of our organisations should be designed to eradicate systemic inequalities. Explore Research in Practice resources on anti-racist practice to support International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Without understanding how our systems have been built, we cannot fully comprehend how we tackle racism, oppression, and discrimination. In a new two-part podcast, Dez Holmes talks to Meera Spillett about how our systems leadership could and should eradicate inequalities. They explore the roots of racism, what progress has been made and what needs to be achieved.
The podcast accompanies a Research in Practice briefing authored by Meera. The briefing supports leaders in developing critical thinking to understand how systemic racism is constructed and perpetuated in policies, tools and practice within individual organisations and partnerships.
Effective systems leadership can address enduring disparities and inequitable outcomes.

Explore an open access Strategic Briefing that offers an overview of how anti-racist systems leadership could and should eradicate inequalities.
In our short video below, Meera outlines why we need anti-racist systems leadership.
Intersectionality and anti-discriminatory practice
Racism and other forms of social inequality function through divisions based on difference. Because no one is just their race, and people are impacted by other forms of inequality and oppression, we need a method to understand it – that method is intersectionality.
In a new blog, Dr. Suryia Nayak explores the importance of intersectionality. The blog builds on the work of the Reserach in Practice Equity: Change Project.
Equity: Change Project
Developed by academics, practitioners in adult social care, and people with lived experience, the Equity: Change Project explores how intersectionality can help achieve equitable experiences and outcomes.
Why intersectionality is vital to anti-discriminatory practice
Because no one is just their race and are impacted by inequality and oppression, we need a method to understand the holistic impact of multiple oppression – that method is intersectionality.
Equity: Change Project
Use intersectionality to explore the practices, attitudes and actions needed to overcome barriers, challenge oppression and increase equity in adult social care.
