Spending the morning looking at upcoming education events. All white speaker line-ups and panels are standard. Please, if you are asked to speak at an event, remember that it costs you nothing to ask what the diversity of the line up is, and ask how you can help 1/
It doesn't cost you anything to suggest a colleague from a diverse background that you know is good and who may not be as well-known as you. It willbe welcomed by the organisers 2/
If in doubt, send the organisers to the @BAMEedNetwork speakers page https://www.bameednetwork.com/speakers/ 3/
You can also send them to the Courageous Conversations page so they can see some of our panellists and speakers in action https://www.bameednetwork.com/courageous-conversations-about-race/

If you are white, and you are asked to speak at an event, you can be an ally, and ask about the diversity of the line up, you can support the organisers to do better, and you can politely say that you won't be able to take part unless it is balanced. 5/
Here is some handy guidance for organisers and for you, as a speaker or panel member, to help take collective social responsibility to ensure balance in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQ+ and more https://www.bameednetwork.com/resources/bameed-resources/organising-an-event-a-toolkit/
