Parliament Staffers to Be Trained on Anti-Racism and ‘Imposter Syndrome’

Not long after MPs and their teams get back from yet another recess holiday on 2 June Parliamentary staffers have been invited to not one but nine “Anti-Racism Online Workshops.” Taxpayer-funded…

Instead of doing casework it’s an hour and half of inclusivity training then off to lunch:

“The course is 90 minutes long and aims to increase confidence and the ability to engage in conversations with colleagues about race to foster a more inclusive workplace and, ultimately, contribute to decreasing our ethnicity pay gap. The first date is Tuesday 17 June from 10-11:30am, if the course is full please sign up to the waiting list as eight other dates are planned.”

At the same time staffers have the opportunity to take classes on “imposter syndrome” with the Commons’ Learning and Development manager:

“Explore Imposter Syndrome and how to counter it with qualified coach and in-House trainer. Including a group discussion, this one-hour presentation comes in two parts, exploring firstly, Imposter Syndrome, and secondly, Growing Confidence. This session will take place in-person on Social Mobility Day, 12 June, with a session online through Microsoft Teams taking place the following week on 19 June.”

Should be a laugh on the terrace after those sessions…
