Dual Mentoring Scheme
We are committed to building the next generation of Black, Minority and Ethnic leaders within the organisation. The Dual Mentoring Scheme allows Black and Minority Ethnic colleagues to get valuable opportunities to receive mentoring from senior leaders throughout the organisation whilst senior leaders better understand and discuss the challenges that our black and minority ethnic colleagues face on a day-to-day basis.
This will help us shape a Leadership team that is better able to represent and model appropriate behaviours and deliver informed leadership.
