Allyship
This short film looks at how we can use our voice, power and privilege to be an effective ally in the workplace to people from minority or marginalised groups.
Description
Allies are individuals who stand in solidarity with people from marginalised or minority groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community, women, older people, people from an ethnic minority background or those with a disability, to help tackle bias, discrimination and prejudice. This short film explains what it means to be an effective ally and sets out practical steps that allies can take to support people who are experiencing micro-incivilities, bullying, harassment and other inappropriate or exclusive behaviour and help to build a fairer and more inclusive working environment.
