In this episode of KN BAME Talks, Shannett Thompson and Donna Cummings delve into issues around BAME recruitment.
Further information
As a firm, we have had many discussions about BAME and Black Lives Matter and how we can make a difference to the movement. We wanted to do more than just put out a statement of support – we wanted to take substantive action to address the inequalities faced by Black people and other ethnic minorities. As part of this, we are publishing a series of blogs from our varying practice areas highlighting what we are doing, how you can make a difference and shining a light on the issues. The blog series can be found here.
We have published further podcasts and blogs on positive representation. Please check our website, Twitter, or our Diversity Matters blog for the latest updates.
