ACTION
PROGRESS STATUS
1. Establish a project team with senior sponsorship and a dedicated budget, responsible for actioning our commitments, providing quarterly progress reports and engaging with our community 2. Ensure our policies reflect an anti-racist approach and review our approaches to recruitment, selection, induction and progression in line with best practice 3. Gather data on our board representation, staff and Instructor Member community to inform future decision making
We have established the Project Sapphire race equity team. The team meets monthly. It has met with all project leads responsible for the actions in the Statement of Intent to develop specific, measurable outcomes. Doing this has ensured that our drive to become an anti-racist organisation has been transformed from a commitment to a business and organisational imperative moving forward. We have reviewed all our recruitment and onboarding processes and begun implementing changes to ensure a more inclusive candidate experience. We have identified priority policies to create and review for this financial year, of which our zero tolerance policy is one. We have committed to reviewing all our people policies on an annual basis to ensure they reflect our anti-racist culture. We have gathered data from all MHFA England staff and will continue to do so at different touchpoints of the employee lifecycle. This will help us ensure that our community is diverse, inclusive and truly reflective of society in the long-term. We are continuing our data gathering drive by collecting Instructor Member data as part of the forthcoming Instructor Membership renewal process. We have diversified our leadership and board level representation. Of our six Non-executive board members, one is Black, one is a Person of Colour and one is from a racialised community. (This is from zero at the publication of the Statement of Intent). One of our four Executives is a Person of Colour (from zero) and three of ten of our leadership team are Black or a Person of Colour (from two).
