Episode 4 (S4). What is the Workforce Race Equality Standard in social care? (feat. Nimal Jude)

The Social Matters Podcast

Here's another exciting and informative episode for you!
In this episode, Nadia, Fran and Eugene are joined by the terrific Nimal Jude for a conversation about the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) in social care.
The WRES is a set of standards/framework to measure different aspects of social care in relation to race. Local Authorities are asked to submit data in relation to a number of different aspects such as; who gets access to paid CPD, reports of bullying, who gets promotions etc. With a WRES already established in the NHS, Nimal and colleagues are eager to replicate the success of the WRES in the NHS to benefit social care.
This is a fascinating listen and an example of Anti-Racist social work practice!
