| Fair and Inclusive |
The council is committed to being a fair and inclusive employer and service provider to the city. This means all staff must understand their role in understanding diversity within the workplace and community, and how they embed equality and inclusion in everything they do.
Learning and Development is one of the workstreams of the Fair and Inclusive Action Plan, our response in particular to racial inequality and disability discrimination.

Self-education
A modern approach to learning and development emphasises self-education and recognises that not all development is accessed through formal methods such as training or eLearning. This could be simply learning from day to day experiences,asking questions, reading, tv shows, podcasts, webinars, shadowing etc.
Our Equalities Team have created a list of resources that might help us all develop our thinking about race, racism and anti-racism. It’s not an exhaustive or exclusive list and it reflects a wide range of views, some from this country, some from elsewhere. We’ve included different media and different voices, all of which can build up our knowledge. Let us know if you have seen any others.
