Following the BLM movement, police leaders said they would act on racism. Five years on, a watchdog says there’s been “no meaningful impact.” Only 6 of 44 forces acknowledge institutional racism, so the issue is still denial of the problem. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

New rules on mandatory ethnicity + disability pay gap reporting are long overdue We already know gaps exist. Average pay for 👉 White employees = £13.51/hr 👉 Black employees = £12.55/hr Transparency isn’t the end, though. Need pressure where data shows gaps www.personneltoday.com/hr/ethnicity...

A new episode of @equitycharter.bsky.social podcast just dropped! 👀 In this episode @rogerkline.bsky.social and @brapequality.bsky.social do a deep dive on what it means to really understand and act when it comes to anti-discrimination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yla1...

Some roles are still gendered: care, emotional labour, holding everything together Still expected, still undervalued, still taking a toll Until we stop treating this as 'just the way things are' women’s health will keep paying the price theconversation.com/decades-of-p... #TheBodyKeepsTheScore

Yesterday was epic. 500,000 in the March Over 300 in the Brum bloc. And Birmingham showed out with incredible heart and solidarity. @togetheralliance.bsky.social

Birmingham marches together against the far right 🧵

Thanks to @wearebrig.bsky.social for this interview with our CEO. They asked... - how can you lead on anti-racism? - what does anti-racism mean? - how does Birmingham deal with flags, riots, etc? www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwL1...

Birmingham Live coverage of the @togetheralliance.bsky.social Alliance march this weekend – featuring a quote from our Community Partnerships Lead. A powerful reminder that Birmingham shows up, stands together, and refuses division. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

Just three days to go... We could say it no better than Lilla Watson: 'If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.’ @togetheralliance.bsky.social www.togetheralliance.org.uk/getting-there

Most people just want an easy day at work. They come in to do their job. Go to their meetings. Get through the day. So what happens when the work suddenly asks something much bigger of you? A new episode of The Quiet Revolution explores that question. 🧵

Recently brap and @rogerkline.bsky.social were asked why it is still so difficult to discuss racism in the workplace. Here's the list we came up with: www.brap.org.uk/post/taking-...

New episode of The Quiet Revolution is out. What happens when equality work stops being policy and becomes personal? Leaders at Comic Relief and UNICEF UK reflect on their experiences – the discomfort, the conflict, and the quieter signs of change. Listen now: www.brap.org.uk/post/boxing-...

We extend our concern and support to Jewish communities across the country, following news of antisemitic attacks early this morning. Join us at the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march this Saturday, to reject narratives that set us against each other, for a new chapter.

Talking about racism at work isn’t hard because it’s rare. It’s hard because it’s normal. What makes it even harder? The moment it’s named, the focus shifts – from systems to feelings, from harm to defensiveness. Until that changes, progress will always stall. www.brap.org.uk/post/taking-...

If you're looking for something meaty to listen to over the weekend, try our podcast on the ideas needed to breakdown antiracism. Idea no 1: race is not a biological fact and we rarely notice how bonkers it is as a basis for deciding human value and worth:

“I thought it would be a kumbaya moment. Everyone would buy into it.” But tackling racism is rarely that simple. Episode 4 of The Quiet Revolution explores what happens when good intentions meet reality. Follow now to get it as soon as it’s released: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

Glad you asked: www.brap.org.uk/post/standin...

Racism survives not because people don’t care, but because we keep using the wrong tools to tackle it. Here are six ideas on how to tackle racism in your organisation. Some ideas are more powerful than a checklist.

We wrote a quick post on women and leadership for #InternationalWomensDay last week. Shifting power won’t happen unless those with power do the shifting. Senior leaders need to get out of their comfort zones. Here's how: www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin...

We’re now official supporters of the Together Alliance! At a time when division is being amplified, collective action matters. We’ll be in London on 28 March standing with people + communities choosing solidarity, dignity, and justice. @togetheralliance.bsky.social www.togetheralliance.org.uk

What if we decided human value based on ear size? It sounds ridiculous, but as the new episode of our podcast series explores, that is exactly how 'bonkers' the concept of race actually is. Let's dismantle racialised thinking. Listen here: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

For #InternationalWomensDay, our CEO reflected on what it means to be a Black female leader... and how to get past the double bind women leaders face: www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin...

If we hold NHS leaders accountable for waiting lists and finances, why not for racism? Episode 2 of The Quiet Revolution goes behind closed doors at The Royal Free London to explore what real accountability could look like – beyond zero tolerance slogans. Listen here: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

The second episode of our new podcast series is out! What happens when you stop 'fixing' the people experiencing racism and start holding the leadership who run the system accountable? At The Royal Free London, that question sparked a radical shift. Listen here: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

Racism operates as a system, not a fixed identity. Anyone can reproduce it if it offers protection, belonging or clarity. That’s why today’s anti-immigration rhetoric comes from a politically and racially diverse mix of voices. Our latest blog 👇️ www.brap.org.uk/post/the-ill...

We're delighted to be offering a keynote address at this event. Looking forward to speaking about racialised inequities in healthcare - and hearing about some timely research. Details on how to book a place below if you're interested:

When people are worried about rent, heating, food, survival – the world shrinks. In that space, simple explanations travel faster than complex truths. Racism thrives not because people are stupid, but because they are under-resourced and fearful. www.brap.org.uk/post/the-ill...

Last week, for #RaceEqualityWeek, we posted a series of resources teachers - and other people - can use to understand anti-racism. In case you missed, it here's a thread of what we said... 🧵

It's out! In the first episode of our new podcast series, The Quiet Revolution, we ask the hard question: Have we gone backwards on race, or just revealed the truth? This is a raw, necessary listen. Find it here: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

Just a reminder our new podcast, 'The Quiet Revolution' is out tomorrow. The Quiet Revolution asks what happens when we stop performing anti-racism and start living it. Follow and subscribe for the first episode here: www.brap.org.uk/podcast

The opposite of racist isn’t “not racist”. It’s anti-racist. In schools, “not racist” often looks like silence. Anti-racism is active – it’s what we choose to do, every day. As #RaceEqualityWeek ends, the question is simple: what will we do differently next week?

The hidden curriculum is about power. Not just rules or policies – but everyday norms: whose stories matter, what’s worth learning, and the “right” way to learn. If you're a teacher and up for the conversation, there are resources here: www.brap.org.uk/post/connected #RaceEqualityWeek

Check out the trailer for our new five-part podcast series. We're pulling back the curtain on what anti-racism leadership actually looks like. The Quiet Revolution launches next month - make sure you're subscribed: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

Because it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing posts on racism in schools. This one is about the hidden curriculum. Not everything pupils learn is written down. Alongside lessons, they absorb messages about what’s normal, valued, or seen as “other”. More info: www.brap.org.uk/post/connected

“I don’t see colour.” “There’s only one human race.” Well-intentioned phrases, but they miss the point. If we choose not to see race, we also choose not to see racism – and that makes it harder to challenge what’s happening in schools. #RaceEqualityWeek

No templates. No easy answers. Just brave, facilitated space to do the deep, difficult work of anti-racism. This video captures what people experience on our courses. White Work 2026 invites white and white-presenting people into that journey. More info: forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

Since it’s #RaceEqualityWeek, we’re sharing a short series on racism in schools. Race isn’t biological. There are no different human races. But racism is real, and it shapes pupils’ experiences every day. Download 'Race: A Guide for Teachers' for more: 👉 www.brap.org.uk/post/connected
