@BPSDFPS Sadly the website has been timing out since your half hour warning! Hoping this might be recorded?

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

@DrAbdullahMia More prison than mental health settings, but Jude Kelman might be a useful name to have a look at. She was and may still be the lead for the women's prison estate.

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

@DrAbdullahMia Thank you, I'll have a look. And you make good points. Had a discussion about whether this is the right 'battle' to be had.

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

Seeking views from those involved in anti-racist work (especially NHS). What are your staff networks called please? Feedback received that 'anti-racist network' is too emotive a term, and would love to know whether the same exists elsewhere or alternative names?

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

@KatClinPsy Indeed. The name was chosen deliberately, to set out a clear aim. Hoping there will other networks that use this wording that we can cite (still lots of 'BAME network's around I think, which makes me wonder who decides on what the networks are called).

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

Views welcome, and shares appreciated. (The network name is not my decision, but I'm supporting discussions as an ally.) @jules_services @SelinaTour @POSNetworks @Manreesh @KatClinPsy @DrLollyHz @DattaBandana @DrAbdullahMia @edpsych_mum @Schlosspsych

♦️ Anti-Racism Community of Practice ♦️

I am really pleased to announce the first Anti-Racism Community of Practice for the North East, Yorkshire & Humber Regions, chaired by myself and @rthwaites. Please RSVP below to join the inaugural meeting!

[Charlotte Griffiths @LottieGY]

A request to NHS colleagues involved in anti-racism work. Hoping for good examples of organisations taking positive action to protect staff from racial abuse (not just post-incident support). Especially interested in practice in forensic settings. Any suggestions/contacts pls?

[Rockliff&Scott @RockliffScott]

We're still thinking about these beautiful words by @theAliceRoberts from yesterday evening's book launch for The Little Book of Humanist Weddings. 'Humanism is about being who we want to be, loving who you want to love, & being able to have a ceremony that celebrates just that.'

@goldfrapp Believer for me. 🌊
