Join fellow ED&I professionals across signatory organisations and hear from a line up of expert speakers including Joanne Conway, Global Head of Diversity Equity and Inclusion for DLA Piper, Richard Oreffo, Founder of The Cowrie Foundation and Helen Robinson, Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement Manager at Auto Trader, on the actions they are taking and how they are considering the important intersection of Race & Social Mobility. More speakers to be announced soon
Intersectionality refers to how multiple identities such as race and socio-economic background can shape a person’s experiences, disadvantage and privilege. Data from ONS highlights this dynamic, 16% of white people in the UK live in a household with below average income compared to 39% of people of Bangladeshi and Pakistani background.
Understand from our panel how businesses are leading the way to reduce the unique barriers to progression faced by ethnic minority colleagues from a lower socio-economic background. We will also discuss learnings from our work on race is influencing progress on social mobility and vice versa. And finally, we’ll also hear about programmes and campaigns that are supporting the next generation of ethnic minority talent to achieve their full potential.
