Practice Pointer - Intersectionality
Practice Pointer - Intersectionality
Delivered online using Teams
12:00 - 13:00 Wednesday, 4 March 2026
This Practice Pointer is an introductory session on intersectionality. We will define and explore what the terms intersectionality, equity and allyship mean and why they are important for social care practice. We will then think about how you can put these ideas into practice through an exploration of our Equity Change Project resources and tools.
This is an hour introductory session where the focus is exploring key themes and the resources we have available to support your practice. There is therefore less time for interaction within the session, but it will inspire you with new thinking around the practices, attitudes and actions needed to challenge oppression, and give you links to evidence informed tools that you can take away and use in your own time.
The session is part of our rolling programme of engagement activities. Join us for 60 minutes on the first Wednesday of the month to explore key messages on a core topic, reflect on the impact on practice, and discover Research in Practice resources to help you to further engage with the subject.
