Need to know
For #TeamEEAST Last updated: 03 May 2024 at 22:32
As part of EEAST’s culture agenda, we are pleased to announce that Cultural Ambassadors are coming to our Trust this month.
The Trust is due to formally launch the Cultural Ambassador programme on Monday 17th of January 2022.
The Cultural Ambassador programme is made of staff from Black Minority backgrounds who have volunteered to be trained as Cultural Ambassadors.
In November 2020 they received specific training to enable them to sit as part of investigation teams or as members of the decision-making panels for grievances and disciplinary hearings, where a BAME member of staff is involved.
Cultural Ambassadors will also be required to sit as lay members on all recruitment interview panels for roles of band 6 and above.
Throughout the coming weeks we will be introducing you to our Cultural Ambassadors, sharing more about the important role they will be playing, and answering any questions that you may have about them, so keep an eye on Need to Know for more information.
