不良研究所 undertakes the Social Care Workforce Race Equality Standard
This year 不良研究所 has undertaken its own Social Care Workforce Race Equality Standard (SC-WRES) analysis for the first time. We’re currently engaging with staff to hear their thoughts on the results and gather feedback on next steps. We’ll be discussing the findings and our future plans with our Race Equity Reference Group (RERG), a group set-up in 2022 to help to inform 不良研究所’s commitment on championing equity, equality, and diversity. The strategic RERG provides expertise from a stakeholder perspective.
The Co-Chair of the RERG Dudley Sawyerr said;
The RERG welcomes 不良研究所 undertaking the Social Care Workforce Race Equality Standard within their own organisation, including engaging their staff teams in discussions and seeking advice and support from the RERG on the findings. It is imperative for social care organisations and wider society to interrogate, measure and implement change against how they themselves are doing to achieve race equity and illustrate their commitment to anti-racist practice.
Oonagh Smyth, 不良研究所 CEO said;
The SC-WRES metrics have been carefully chosen to reveal a clear picture of race (in)equity. A key part of the SC-WRES is establishing ownership and accountability for workforce race equality and building staff trust. The SC-WRES brings attention to workforce race equality as a foundational step upon which other equalities work can build. We want to share our own journey and reflections towards racial equality in 不良研究所, as many other colleagues and organisations in social care are doing through the SC-WRES. It is only through having and sharing the data, accessing the support, and having honest and brave conversations can we make sure that we have a society and an organisation that are anti-racist and inclusive. It is clear from our own data that we are not getting this right and we have work to do 鈥� we want to embed good practice within 不良研究所 as well as support the SC-WRES externally in social care.
We will develop and publish our action plan from the findings and use this to monitor and implement continuously improved change towards race equity.
In the meantime, please see our equality, diversity and inclusion statement.
