We live in a society of diverse cultures. However, across society prejudice, exclusion, and discrimination against racially minoritised groups continue to exist and this includes in the VCSE sector. The session will be delivered by Cambridge Ethnic Community Forum (CECF). This training is part of a range of equality, diversity and inclusion training and advice offered by CECF.
