Description

In June 2019 Goldsmiths committed to launching mandatory staff training in relation to issues of racism and oppression after a 137-day organised occupation of Deptford Town Hall which was led by Black and people of colour students. This forms part of the College response to the occupation and will underpin the college's commitment to promoting equality, tackling racism and progressing racial justice.

The Anti-Racism Training Working Group was established to curate the anti-racism training with the aim of identifying a suitable provider to facilitate the training and to ensure the successful roll-out of the training for all academic and professional staff. Engagement sessions with key stakeholders including GARA and GREG were also held to garner input from a broader range of staff and students.

Delivery requirements
Our aim is to:
• Launch anti-racism training for all staff by August 2022
• Start with SMT/Council/senior managers
• Roll out 30 sessions between February and July 2022 (with the aim of training 450 staff in year 1).
• Review quality and engagement with the training by the end of term 1 before finalising programme for the remainder of the academic year (dates and evaluation approach to be agreed with supplier).
• The format will be 1-day; we are keen for this to be delivered in different configurations (see below).
• Training must seamlessly connect with Action Learning Sets which will be led by Goldsmiths, to ensure continuity and ongoing learning.
