Anti-Racism and Community Cohesion

We celebrate Black History Month in October where we remember the valuable contributions of black people to the UK over centuries. UNISON has a long history of challenging inequality and tackling racism in the workplace and in wider society.

The prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement throughout 2020 has shown that there is still much for us to do to achieve equality. We have launched this new Anti-Racism page to showcase the good work we have been doing over many years and the work we will continue to do with our partners at Show Racism the Red Card.

Anti-Racism Training

Last year we embedded into our branch development days our equality training delivered by Show Racism the Red Card for all members. This year we have had to change the way we deliver training due to the pandemic.

Our new Equality & Discrimination training module is now available as a webinar. This module will cover unconscious bias and the language of equality and is the first of 3 modules which will take learner on a journey from a basic understanding of the issues to having the confidence to challenge inequality and discrimination.

Registration coming soon
