Come and hear about the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) and what it means for social care in Wales.


The Workforce Race Equality Standard is a tool that'll help monitor the experience of people from ethnic minorities who work in health and social care in Wales.

We’re bringing together a panel of experts to introduce the Workforce Race Equality Standard and discuss how it can be used to drive cultural change across social care in Wales.

📅 The event will take place from 2pm to 3pm on Thursday 8 February on Zoom.

It'll be co-chaired by Albert Heaney CBE and Judith Paget, with Sue Evans, Anton Emmanuel and Abyd Quinn Aziz also on the panel.
