#truInclusion on-line is a global unconference event focused on inclusion and belonging, hosted by Joanne Lockwood, Founder and CEO of SEE Change Happen.
Who is it for? - It is for everyone, be you an HR professional, a D&I practitioners, a vendor wanting showcase or promote some tech, or maybe an innovation to build, measure or track inclusive behaviour, or simply that you are someone that wants to join in a conversation and have a voice. It is envisaged that every topic and conversation is intersectional and not focused on one particular element or group, and we want to move the conversations on from simple protected characteristics and look at challenges faced by all people in the workplace.
#truInclusion is not going to be like every other on-line D&I conference you have attended – everyone or anyone can host a track, whether you are C-Level or a passionate person with a question or message to spread. #truInclusion is about amplifying what looks great, sharing ideas and opening up discussions.
Best of all, now we are bringing this online through Zoom, everyone can attend from wherever they are!
Date:
Tuesday 19th May 2020
Time:
10:00am to 14:30pm (GMT+1)

To mark our DIVA exhibition season we are joined by Kate Bailey the Senior Curator for DIVA, for an informative presentation and dialogue, looking at the concepts, diverse content, and design ideas, and how audiences have engaged with the themes, as a behind the scenes look prior to visiting the exhibition on the day.
Through tours, talks, and discussions with Simon Sladen Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Theatre and Performance, you will also deep dive into how the Museum embeds representation, decolonisation, and audience engagement within our Theatre and Performance galleries, and displays, in particular ‘Laughing Matters: The State of a Nation’.
A light lunch will be served.
Please note, that you will be walking and standing for extended periods of time on the tours – a limited number of museum chairs will be available on the day.
'joy is an act of resistance' Poet Toi Derricotte.
'Black joy inspires us, keeps us uplifted through the toughest of times, and is radical in its simplicity to make us happy and confident in finding one’s collective voice. In Black joy we celebrate the Black experience, history, culture, and community cohesion, to share, listen and support others in our need to connect and be together.' Janet Browne.
A schedule of the day will be available shortly.
This event is in collaboration with the Black Gallery Visitor Network (UK)

IEDP, December 2016
The IEDP’s winter seminar was facilitated by IEDP advisory friend Natasha Broomfield-Reid and featured a fascinating presentation by Christopher Watkins, Senior Disability Consultant from the Business Disability Forum (BDF).
Christopher identified three distinct types of intervention that organisations should make in relation to the mental health of their staff, and argued forcefully that it is important to work on all three areas, as too much focus on one or two of them can actually be counterproductive.
The three categories of intervention he suggested are:
Culture – addressing the stigma attached to mental ill health, encouraging an environment where people feel able to talk about their mental health
Proactive – activity focusing on the well-being of staff in terms of exercise, healthy eating, providing a quiet space etc.
Responsive – identifying people who are experiencing mental ill health, talking to them about to identify specific triggers or barriers, then acting to avoid triggers and make adjustments to address barriers
The key point that he made was that cultural, proactive and responsive interventions cannot exist in isolation and must be balanced in order to be effective. These may be competing agendas, but any single approach in isolation may be counterproductive or counter-inclusive.
If you are an IEDP member you can find Christopher's PowerPoint presentation here in the members' area of the website
