In the ever-evolving landscape of local governance, the pursuit of equitable decision-making remains a paramount objective. To advance this critical endeavour, we are pleased to announce the ‘Unconscious Bias for Local Authority Webinar,’ an introductory session aimed at enriching participants with the acumen to navigate the subtle complexities of unconscious bias.

Understanding unconscious bias

Scheduled for Wednesday, March 20, 2024, at 09:30 AM and delivered through MS Teams, this webinar represents one of our Inclusion Unit’s training initiatives. The event is designed to explain the nuanced concept of unconscious bias and its pervasive influence on decision-making processes within local authorities.

Interactive learning experience

Participants will be joining in an interactive learning environment, where they will engage with various forms of unconscious bias. Our team will draw upon real-life scenarios and empirical insights, offering a comprehensive perspective on how these cognitive blind spots can inadvertently propagate disparities, thereby obstructing the path to diversity and inclusion.

This webinar aims to equip attendees, irrespective of their role within the local authority, with the cognitive tools necessary to identify and mitigate the impact of unconscious bias. This webinar has been designed as a step towards adopting a culture of fairness and inclusivity in public service.

Join the conversation

We invite all professionals engaged in local government to seize this opportunity to augment their understanding and play an active role in cultivating an equitable environment for decision-making.
