DEI Consultation Service

I know there are many organisations looking for guidance on DEI work, and especially how to connect with and include diverse groups and demographics. My work throughout my career has included a lot of advocacy for diversity, equity and inclusion in both the private and public sectors. I've helped organisations to redraft Equality Policies, and helped to co-design strategic plans to improve inclusion and accessibility. I am also in a position to help signpost and connect New Forest organisations to local networks, organisations and community groups they may be unaware of. I can also run bespoke training and workshops on my areas of DEI expertise, which includes ethnic diversity in the New Forest, as I was commissioned to write a research report on this topic by ArtfulScribe - more information below.

​​

I suggest starting with an initial meeting in all cases so I can get to know your organisation and what your current aims are and how I could best help you meet them. As part of an initial meeting I will signpost you to relevant organisations and resources to help you in your journey.

During consultation I can research and learn more about your organisation and wider context to better advise you. This can take place in person or via literature review by email (or a mixture). I will summarise my advice into a 1-2 page report. 

I can run basic DEI training for staff that covers core concepts and resources for further learning. My areas of expertise are anti-racism and LGBTQIA+ inclusion, and I will also cover neurodiversity and disability. Many areas of diversity, equity and inclusion intersect with each other. 

A DEI strategy development workshop involves working with key stakeholders/decision-makers to develop a sustainable DEI strategy that grows with and helps to positively shape the future of your organisation. This service includes a literature review to understand your context prior to the workshop.

 

If you are a smaller organisation interested in DEI training, please get in touch with me. I want to scope out if it's feasible to run a joint session for small organisations and community leaders in the New Forest. Grant and match funding could also help to make such initiatives more accessible to those who need it.
