Description

MOPAC is seeking a highly qualified and experienced facilitator to lead a session on anti-racism allyship for members of the London Policing Board. This session will delve into the complexities of allyship and its role in their work.

There are plans for this session to form part of a wider series of future EDI sessions on other topics. We therefore seek proposals from facilitators with the ability to delivery further allyship sessions on other EDI topics as needed.

The workshop will be delivered to members of the London Policing Board, which has been created by the Mayor of London in response to one of Baroness Casey's recommendations in her review of culture and standards in the Metropolitan Police Service, which followed a series of scandals rooted in long-running cultural and performance issues within the service.

Session details
It is envisioned that sessions will last approximately three hours and be delivered face to face in a London venue provided by MOPAC.

The initial session will aim to foster a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can engage in meaningful conversations to explore racism and effective allyship practices as members of the London Policing Board. The overarching goal is to empower all participants, regardless of their individual backgrounds, to actively contribute toward driving improvements to the Metropolitan Police Service in addressing racism, and supporting one another in doing this.

The session should foster a safe and inclusive space for open and honest dialogue, encourage active participation, and provide actionable strategies to enhance the participants' allyship skills. It should reference the multiple intersecting forms of prejudice, including racism, misogyny, LGBT+, disability, and faith.

Further sessions
MOPAC's contract with the successful facilitator will include the delivery of one anti-racism allyship session, plus the flexibility to add up to five additional sessions on other EDI topics in future through contract extension. This might also include delivering an additional preparatory session for White LPB members to familiarise participants with core anti-racism concepts, if necessary. Any additional sessions will be delivered at the per-session rate outlined in the successful provider's budget.
