Through sharing knowledge and personal accounts, we humanise the experience with the intent to create change through understanding.

The bystander effect and peer-to-peer influence, and how it affects workplace culture

Making sense of inclusivity
Actions and take aways: reflection, personal responsibility, where to go for more support.
