nia recognises that it is not sufficient to not be racist, but that we must be anti-racist. That is, actively challenge racism and racist structures both operationally and strategically. We are determined to embed anti-racist best practice at every level of the organisation. In order to meet our goal to become anti-racist our work must recognise historical legacies of racism as well as its nuances within a national and a globalised context. Our anti-racism work is a strategic priority, and our work is on-going.
nia has an Anti-Racism Working Group made up of staff at all levels in the organisation. The purpose of the group is to ensure nia operates within an anti-racism framework that will truly support its Black, Asian and Minoritised employees and by extension the communities which we work in.
