00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,400
Resources Author.
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,160
My name is Abdul Quinn-Aziz...
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,080
and I'm a reader in social work.
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,840
I did social work and social care...
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,280
..for a number of years before
coming to teach social work...
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,240
..and throughout that time
I've been interested...
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,400
..and involved
in anti-racist work.
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360
What I'm here to do is to welcome
you to this training.
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Why are we doing this course?
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,200
With this, what we're trying
to do is help you...
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,120
..along the journey of becoming
more anti-racist.
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,280
And it is a journey,
not a destination.
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,920
We're learning all the time.
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,280
An introduction to an Anti-racist
Wales.
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,240
What we're trying to do is work
with the ambitions...
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,960
..of the Welsh Government's
anti-racist plan.
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,560
And you all know...
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,920
..that there's teaching around
anti-racism in schools...
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960
..in colleges, in universities...
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,720
..but also organisations are
looking at ways...
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,160
..where they can be more anti-racist
over the next few years.
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,400
That's what we're trying
to help you do.
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,560
I suppose we're all starting at
different places...
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,280
..and so there might be some things
that seem very simple to you...
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,720
..but also some areas that feel
really challenging.
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,760
We're all learning all the time.
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,600
How can the course help you?
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,640
It's about helping you develop
the tools and the confidence...
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,080
..and asking you to try things out,
to learn things...
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,400
..and to really think about how
you are and where you're working.
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440
But this work isn't about making
people feel wrong...
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,480
..and that you should feel
guilt...
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,600
..but to recognize that the work
might be challenging.
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,040
We've had centuries of learning
racism...
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,280
..and so it will take time
and some effort to unlearn that.
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:46,920
It's not an easy step.
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,080
If it were,
we'd have fixed it already.
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Small steps, big difference.
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080
The thing about feeling worried
about getting it wrong...
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,440
..or feeling guilty is that
neither of those help us change.
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,880
What we want to help you to do is
to think about where you are...
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200
..where you want to be,
and how you can get there.
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,920
But it's also about those small
steps that are possible...
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,840
..within your work, in your life.
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Because all those small steps...
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,160
..come together to make
a difference...
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,680
..and an anti-racist Wales will be
all the better for all of us.
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,640
As the research shows, diverse
people and different voices...
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,920
..lead to better outcomes,
better decisions...
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960
..and it will be better
for all of us.
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,600
What's in the course?
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,880
So, let's go on a journey together.
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,200
The resource comes in five units
and each unit comes in two parts.
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,360
That way you can do it
at your own pace.
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,520
Each unit ends with some
questions...
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,080
..for you to think about, and then
discuss with your manager...
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320
..and some of the units ask you
to think about yourself...
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,280
..your workplace, your location,
and more broadly.
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040
The modules start by getting us
to think about...
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080
..the context in Wales,
how racism impacts people...
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,520
..both those using services
and those delivering services.
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,360
We'll look at how we can learn
to be anti-racist...
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,440
..and the make-up of
people in Wales.
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,960
We can also look at how we can talk
about race.
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Again, this doesn't mean it
will be easy...
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,360
..but we want to make a difference.
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,400
We can also look at some
examples...
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,720
..where people have made a
difference, to help us think...
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,800
..of what we might do differently...
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,360
..away from what we've always
thought of as doing it in this way.
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Each unit comes with some links
to other material...
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,880
..you might want to read
or watch videos of...
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,440
..and then there'll be a list
of resources...
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
..if you want to take your
learning further right at the end.
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880
I hope you find this course
useful...
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,720
..and that it helps you feel more
confident when addressing race...
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,760
..and thinking about how you can
improve your work...
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,000
..as well as that of your
organisation.
