The first meeting was a chance for all who attended to agree on the objectives for the group. The group will work with the AHDG to support the organisational equality and diversity objectives. The BAME group will also have involvement in contributing to our Equality and Diversity (E&D) calendar, development of our E&D training and general wellbeing support.
