An advocacy package for UCL Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff who want to progress to in their careers.
How Inclusive Advocacy works
Inclusive Advocacy matches protégés to advocates, to work together for up to two years. It is open to academic and professional services staff across UCL.
Protégés are UCL Black Asian and Minority Ethnic staff at grades 7 or 8 who want to progress in their careers.
Advocates are UCL staff from any ethnic background at grade 9 or 10 who are committed to using their networks, knowledge and social capital to advance a protégé’s career.
The aims of Inclusive Advocacy
Inclusive Advocacy aims to address the underrepresentation of Black Asian and Minority Ethnic staff in UCL senior leadership roles.It is as part of a wider suite of programmes addressing race equality, and a key commitment in UCL’s Race Equality Charter Mark.
