Black Leadership Group and Morgan Hunt joined forces in summer 2020, following the tragic murder of George Floyd, united by a commitment to drive change. Our partnership began with a powerful statement:
An open letter from Black Leadership Group to the then UK Prime Minister and Education Secretary, addressing systemic racism in Further Education. Morgan Hunt was an original signatory to that open letter, standing alongside BLG to call for real action on racial inequality in the post-16 education and skills sector.
Since then, our collaboration has deepened.
- Morgan Hunt became the first private sector affiliate of the Black Leadership Group, underscoring their commitment to anti-racism. Through this partnership, they then completed BLG’s 10-Point Diagnostic Toolkit, conducting a thorough audit of their practices and training to ensure continuous improvement.
- Together, we created an anti-racist recruitment protocol aimed at transforming hiring practices in senior leadership and governance within the further education sector.
- We’ve jointly hosted events and webinars, to promote these practices and support others in building inclusive workplaces.
Black Leadership Job Board is a key outcome and the obvious next step of these efforts. Connecting organisations with Black talent and elevating diverse talent in leadership roles, all working toward our collective mission of creating a truly anti-racist society.
Collective Action for Change
While we’re still building the momentum around our campaign, we know that change won’t come overnight. But real change never happens without collective action. If organisations are committed to improving diversity within their senior leadership teams, they need to get involved and walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
