The North West Civil Service Local Diversity and Inclusion network proudly present – Allyship – What does it mean?, the importance of Allyship and how you can become an Ally.
Allyship is a key component to the gateway of exposing the power of Diversity & Inclusion. It is a continual investment to supporting others as well as being accountable.
Our learning, growth and commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, will not happen without being challenged.
This event includes speakers from across the Civil Service who will share personal journeys and commitment to pushing the boundaries for inclusivity.
Remember; Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice and belonging is having that voice heard.
Session 3: Claire Medhurst - RISE (HMCTS)
I am Claire Medhurst and I joined the Civil Service, in May 2019 as Deputy Director of Intelligent Client Capability for HMCTS. My role sits within the Operations Directorate and is predominantly focussed on the effective delivery of contracted services. Before this, I spent the last 17 years in policing, carrying out a range of different roles from Forensic Support to Change Management and procurement. I was fortunate to become an HMCTS RISE committee member about a year ago, with an aim to both learn and to help and support others. I did not join as a ‘Deputy Director’ but as an individual who works within HMCTS and who passionately believes that both our organisation and society should no longer be a place that enables any sort of racism or racial prejudice.
