“There is no sector that gives the government a better deal than the charity sector.” Huge thanks to Toby Porter and Chris Sherwood for their thoughtful, measured and articulate explanations on BBC Breakfast this morning of the challenges and realities that will arise from the changes to national insurance announced this week.

The session fosters accountability by encouraging leaders to create action plans with ownership and partner with a peer for support. The peer-to-peer approach is designed to create continuous journey beyond the workshop, where plans are more likely to be implemented – leading to a lasting impact. In focussing on tangible actions and by holding each other accountable, leaders ensure that DEI becomes a core value embedded within the organisation, creating a sustainable shift that stakeholders and service users will experience over time.
