A reminder of why it’s important… bsky.app/profile/brap...

An important event from @wearebrig.bsky.social 👇👇👇

So glad this is getting traction. We’re discussing ideas for further action - will keep you informed.

This is so chilling

Doll test - The effects of racism on children (ENG) The "doll test" is a psychological experiment designed in the 1940s in the USA to test the degree of marginalization felt by African American children caused by prejudice, discrimination and racial…

Here's a version of a video we sometimes show in our development courses.

A child is asked which doll is 'good'… and which is 'bad.'

The answers are learned. The impact is lifelong.

In our latest blog, we ask what this means - for leaders, people, and society

Wow - what an amazing session! Thanks to everyone who came to discuss a new set of principles that can promote disability justice. A recording of the event will be available soon - let us know if you would like a link.

This promises to be a great event. Definitely book on if you can

Young ,Racist & Radicalised? Tackling exactly what it says on the tin.

We’ll be speaking at 'Young, Racist & Radicalised?', a two-day leadership conference.

The event brings together youth workers, practitioners, and organisers to move beyond theory and build strategies for change.

If you work with young people, be in the room.

Still some space left if you're interested in attending our online event this afternoon.

We’ll explore how disability justice and anti-racist principles can inform a broader set of intersectional social justice principles.

When did you realise you were white?

Not a trick question.
A real one.

This analysis is total nonsense.

1. There is no chance at all that net migration will average 235k in 2026-27.

It will be much closer to zero than 235k

2. There will be declining school pupil numbers & closures for demographic reasons

Could you explain the social model of disability in 80 seconds?

If we’re serious about disability equality, we need to move beyond 'fixing' individuals and start tackling the barriers around them.

Police chiefs failed to tackle racism due to lack of leadership, watchdog finds Review finds no ‘meaningful impact’ five years after race action plan launched, amid calls for government to step in

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.

Average hourly pay Every year between 2013 and 2021, employees from the combined Pakistani and Bangladeshi ethnic group had the lowest average hourly pay out of all ethnic groups.

Ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting to go ahead The government has confirmed that it will introduce mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting.

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

Decades of putting others first – the toll it takes on women’s bodies For many women, a lifetime of putting others first quietly damages their health – and midlife is often when the cost finally becomes clear.

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

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.’

Episode 4 of The Quiet Revolution explores what happens when good intentions meet reality inside organisations.

The discomfort. The resistance. And the quieter signs that something might actually be changing.

Listen now: podfollow.com/the-quiet-re...

“A colleague once described it as getting knocked out in the ring… and then having to come back the next day and fight again.”

That’s what leading anti-racism work can feel like inside organisations.

Messy. Emotional. Sometimes exhausting.

But also necessary.

When Comic Relief began its anti-racism work, Mabinty Esho assumed it might be straightforward.

“I just assumed because it’s the right thing to do there wouldn’t be any issues. Everyone would buy into it.

It would be a kumbaya moment – very naïve, I know.”

Reality looked very different.

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.
