Diversity Practitioners Network

The Diversity Practitioners Network (DPN) was established in May 2002. We meet four times a year, with meetings lasting two to two and a half hours (sometimes inclusive of lunch). Weve attracted people for whom equality constitutes either the whole or part of their professional remit.

brap's initial aim was to create a space, with confidentiality guaranteed, for equality practitioners who often feel isolated  to come together to: share information; identify and reflect upon good practice; discuss common barriers and problems; and draw upon each other's expertise and experience. Meetings provide opportunities for informal professional development via presentations, discussions and activities that focus on the pragmatic and theoretical issues arising in the complex arena of race equality work.

Drawing upon both internal and external expertise, topics discussed at past meetings have included: critical whiteness; the consequences of multicultural-oriented policy and practice; ethnic categorisations and monitoring; deconstructing diversity; and recruitment theory and practice.
