Dare to CARE (Creating and Anti-Racist Environment)

This project has been created with the purpose of helping health and social care staff tackle racism in their workplaces. Whether you’re a Black or Asian staff member looking for support, or a white colleague who wants to know how to be an ally, we havecollated resourcesto assist in ending racism and racist incidents in health and social care settings.

We have aimed to gather resources that look beyond the UK and the NHS. We want this project to be helpful toall health and social care staff, including those who may be working with marginalised groups in very different settings that are beyond the British Isles. The resources provided here are dynamic and will continue to be developed and added to in the future.

These resources have been specially selected and created to support different health and social care disciplines. Racism doesn’t just affectdoctorsandnursesin emergency situations. It also involvesmidwives,dentists, allied health professionals such asoccupational therapistsorspeech and language therapists, professional services and administration staff, and external colleagues such as researchers andsocial workers.

Through our initiative, “Talk to transform”, we will be utilising thelived experiencesof healthcare professionals to bring to life racism in a range of settings. Through these experiences you will understand the impact that racism has on individuals, and how to tackle it when you witness it in person.
