Episode Details

Here's another exciting and informative episode for you!

In this episode, Nadia, Fran and Eugene are joined by the terrific Nimal Jude for a conversation about the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) in social care. 

The WRES is a set of standards/framework to measure different aspects of social care in relation to race. Local Authorities are asked to submit data in relation to a number of different aspects such as; who gets access to paid CPD, reports of bullying, who gets promotions etc. With a WRES already established in the NHS, Nimal and colleagues are eager to replicate the success of the WRES in the NHS to benefit social care.

This is a fascinating listen and an example of Anti-Racist social work practice!
