Update on Diversity in Practice July Call
July’s call was a quiet one with low attendance but great conversation around the value of the diversity work taking place in the sector. We identified the importance of meaningful representation in the development of stakeholder engagement programmes. We also spoke about the value of lived experience and governance frameworks for implementing sustainable and supported diversity outcomes.
Our next Diversity in Practice call will be 4.30pm 22nd August and we will be discussing Diversity and Sustainability.
