What's it about?:

What does a fair workplace look like, and who decides? This webinar dives into the growing debate around Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in the UK. With Reform UK party calling for the removal of EDI roles in the public sector, and Apple voting to protect its EDI workforce, the clash between politics and business is heating up. We’ll break down what these changes mean for future jobs, who gets hired, and how inclusive our workplaces will be.

If you care about fairness, opportunity, and want to study this further, this conversation is for you.

Attending our webinars is a great way to explore your subject interests while gaining experience that can strengthen your personal statement.
