Black Country ICS Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Events

January 24, 2025

As Co-Chairs of the Black Country ICS Staff Equality Network we are delighted to present a series of collaborative learning and development opportunities as part of Race Equality Week 3-7 February 2025 and LGBTQ+ History Month. These events are open to all staff from our partner organisations in the Black Country. All events are free to attend.

The ICS Staff Network collaborates with staff equality networks across the ICS,
sharing good practice and collaborating on equality, diversity and inclusion action
