People have asked in the past few weeks what can their orgs do to be more #inclusive. Here’s a great case study from @SkyUK demonstrating what good #diversity and inclusivity looks likes: https://t.co/ZyIjLAXi7S

Thanks @HarrietSmallies for sharing!

PS- I've always used a capital B for the Black that refers to people. And it's high time we were no longer referred to as "Blacks", we are not an outfit or a sports team. Black women. Black men. Black children. Black people. People. Easier to dehumanize when we don't specify.

Feels absolutely wild to have broken this record 🤯 My work stands on the shoulders of so many Black British literary giants - Bernadine Evaristo, Benjamin Zephaniah, Zadie Smith, Andrea Levy, Stella Dadzie, Stuart Hall, Linton K Johnson, Jackie Kay, Gary Younge - to name a few.

@jnthomas4 Such a powerful read, and so true what you say about the media and the responsibility we have in IC. Thank you for sharing your story.

[Leah Bowden @humanizecomms]

RT @annique_simpson. Thank you for sharing this #blackintheoffice thread.

Sickening but necessary reading.

[Annique Simpson #BLM 🇯🇲 @annique_simpson]

Please read this #blackintheoffice thread.

These are not isolated incidents.

I’ve had some of this happen to me or have witnessed it.

[Annique Simpson #BLM 🇯🇲 @annique_simpson]

We all have the power to change things. Not sure how? Please read this: https://t.co/MCVEa7sa80 #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatterUK

[Local Government Association (LGA) @LGAcomms]

Councils have already seen #coronavirus-related scams, including those targeting vulnerable people in self-isolation.

This is absolutely despicable behaviour.

If you witness #COVID19 fraud in your area, contact your councils’ Trading Standards team 👉 https://t.co/CJHEDscu1K

Hi @EnfieldCouncil, with so many people working from home, kids at home, are there any plans to rethink the recent switch to fortnightly rubbish collection in N13? Or provide residents with larger general waste bins? Thanks

[Leah Bowden @humanizecomms]

@annavosullivan Congratulations Anna! The timing is always right for bundles such as these ❤️❤️

[Leah Bowden @humanizecomms]

Hi there #InternalComms, #HR and #PR Twitter in the #UK - I’m looking to get a sense check of advice companies are giving to frontline staff who show no symptoms of #Coronavirus but whose partners are pregnant. Is anyone able to share?@CIPD @IoICNews @CIPR_UK
Thx!

[Leah Bowden @humanizecomms]

@HarrietSmallies @Advita_p @TheCommsHive Thank you so much - I’ll be bringing a bottle!! 🍷 🤣

[Leah Bowden @humanizecomms]

Just found this super helpful paper from @RCObsGyn sharing the latest information, advice and guidance for expectant mothers (and any anxious partners). May help shape #InternalComms advice. RT @IoICNews @CIPD @CIPR_UK
