ICN Leadership Matters Conversation: Roger Kline Do we still need to talk about race?

During this thought-provoking discussion, Roger, the designer of the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES), will look at why achieving race equality is so important and why we have failed to make the progress we had hoped to. The session will also look at how research evidence can help us do much more in the future.

As part of our ongoing support to Leaders across the ICN we are running a set of monthly Leadership Matters Conversations bringing world class leaders to our virtual space to have conversations across a wide variety of topics.

Now in its third year, this year’s Race Equality Week theme is #ItsEveryonesBusiness.

We at Integrated Care Northamptonshire take Race Equality seriously. We believe that making Race Equality everyone’s business will have a meaningful impact on tackling race inequality, resulting in positive shifts in beliefs, cultures, behaviours, and outcomes for race equality.

We invite you to join our free online MS Team events, to hear from national expert speakers on Race Equality:-

This month we are excited to be joined by Roger Kline, Research Fellow at Middlesex University Business School
