Essex County Council’s adult social care started its journey to embed anti-racist practice almost two years ago and is seeing promising examples of change across its workforce.

In this Employer Insights podcast episode, we explore how Essex is changing the culture around tackling racism in a way that ensures its workforce feels safe and empowered, and the adults they serve remain supported.

We also gain firsthand experience from Alison Ansell, director of adult social care at mid Essex, deputy manager Ganiyat Asiegbu and development manager for race Phil Chiza, who also work in adult social care at mid Essex.

They explain why this work is leading to visible transformation in how social workers and managers tackle incidents of racism. You can read the transcript here.
