The Leadership and Management Academy (LMA) are pleased to introduce the “Let’s be clear about EDI” webinar series for 2021.

The Let’s be clear about EDI campaign was launched in October and aims to promote a university-wide conversation at local level to help develop our understanding of what Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) means and how the university embeds this in everything that we do.

To continue to inform, support and guide us all, the LMA put together a series of webinars, running throughout 2021, on some of the key aspects of EDI.

On Wednesday 14 April we are holding our Caring for Carers and Covid-19 webinar again between 3pm and 3.50pm. The outline is as follows:-

Caring for carers and Covid-19: A shared responsibility

Leading and managing staff who have caring responsibilities requires an appreciation of some of the challenge’s carers face. In this session you will gain an understanding of the tools, resources and guidance that are available to help you provide the support staff carers need.

Join members of the carers network as they discuss the issues carers have had to deal with during Covid-19 as they share their own lived experiences. Hear about the barriers carers face and what they need by way of support both now and in the future. You will also find out where to find useful information and support.

These webinars are open to all university staff and are designed to be a relaxed and informal space to discuss key challenges and opportunities that our colleagues face in the context of equality, diversity and inclusion.
