Identity Matters

Identity Matters: Learning Sessions

In 2022- 2023 a series of webinars were designed and delivered in ASC with the theme Putting Identity at the Heart of Practice. The webinars were commissioned by SMT as an area of action in the ASC Equalities Plan (co-designed by SMT, reaching in /reaching out and our staff equalities taskforce) which seeks to tackle and reduce the structural inequalities experienced by staff and residents. Putting identity at the heart of practice with a focus on intersectionality is also a priority in the work to further embed strengths based practice across adult social care in Camden.
