2. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Training

Over the past year, REN has conducted extensive EDI training, reaching hundreds of participants across various sectors. These training sessions have focused on critical areas such as cultural competency, decolonising curricula, and understanding unconscious biases, fostering more inclusive workplaces and services.

3. Root Out Racism Campaign

REN continued its leadership in the Root Out Racism initiative, focusing on tackling systemic racism across West Yorkshire. Through workshops and advocacy, the campaign has highlighted the importance of allyship and collective responsibility in creating anti-racist institutions.
