Race Equality Charter Member Events

As part of our support for those participating in the Race Equality Charter we are offering events and webinars throughout the year.

Overview

Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter (REC) aims to improve the representation, progression and success of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff and students within higher education. Our events are designed to support both those working towards the Charter, and to help those who already hold an award to maintain best practice.
