Take Part in Race Equality Week - Day 5
Will you join millions of others today to turn words and thoughts into action?
The Big Promise Day
Over the last four days, we have explored some key and daily issues that are so hurtful, damaging, and excluding to your ethnically diverse colleagues, community friends, and families (and we appreciate that many of you may have experienced it directly yourselves).
Do we step back, walk away, ignore, or take action?
The only way to achieve equity and equality for all is for each and every one of us to take action
#ItsEveryonesBusiness
Through one-to-one interviews and group workshops with the Race Equality Matters community, and by collaborating with the governance forum and Dr Karl George MBE, we identified promises that are measurable, accountable, and transparent and that will create meaningful change. This included reviewing 15 race charters which collectively drew together 200+ suggested commitments and pledges They are known as the Big Promise.
Make your Big Promise/s today!
To help you make that commitment, we have identified bespoke sets of seven promises for:
- Board, ExCo, and C-Suite
- Senior leaders
- Allies
- Ethnically diverse colleages
The sets of seven promises have been developed specifically so that each will make a real impact on race equality in the workplace

Each promise has been determined by those with a lived experience of racial inequality. By this we mean people who have faced race-related challenges in the workplace (and in society) in a variety of circumstances.
These challenges include racism and microaggressions and barriers to career progression as well as discriminatory and unequal recruitment, development, and progression practices.
We hear their stories every day, and we want organisations and their employees to listen to what has been said and take action so that we can improve the lived experience for people, now and in the future.
