The Leadership in Colour Summit brought together over 175 people to discuss and tackle issues of racism and disproportionality.
The day was powerful, inspiring and productive, with a deep dive into themes of workforce, youth justice and early years. The day was also an opportunity for the London Children’s workforce to come together as colleagues and friends. The warmth and joy this brought were evident; for many this was a chance to connect again after the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
An important milestone
The day looked to tackle the ‘so what’ question and we will use the work of delegates to inform proposals for the 23/24 Leadership in Colour work programme.
There were very high satisfaction levels with the day: 60% of respondents scored the Summit 5/5,35% of respondents scored the Summit 4/5.
What’s next?
In the year ahead we intend to grow the programme for which the summit has allowed a strong collection of the objectives and ambitions expressed. These will guide our development of the programme in 2023/24 across a variety of priorities within workforce, before/around/after youth justice, data development and beyond.
