We’re delighted to share the success of our November meeting, where we were honoured to support the Panel in engaging directly with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM It was an invaluable opportunity for the Panel to discuss how their work aligns with the Mayor’s!

We heard from a number of excellent speakers, looking at ways to harness social media for good, the Anti-racism Toolkit for GM Schools, the Local Transport Plan, and ways we can manage conflict and raised complaints in a constructive and impactful way.

We had the pleasure of supporting the GM Race Equality Panel to connect in person with Deputy Mayor @KateGreenSU today, to highlight key concerns impacting racialised communities and make baseline recommendations regarding how to take decisive action! Change is coming!

We are horrified by the racist and xenophobic violence and rioting in the UK over recent days, as shown on the news and social media. Read BASHH's full statement on racist and xenophobic violence in the UK ➡️ bit.ly/3Adjkoh
Statement on racist and xenophobic violence in the UK “We are a group of healthcare professionals diverse in race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, class and ability. We are proud of our diversity and our intersectional identities. They are at the heart of our speciality. It is our diversity and intersectionality that makes our patients trust us. They are our strength.” Racially Minoritised Communities Special Interest Group (SIG) on behalf of and in collaboration with BASHH
