Due to lack of representation of senior leaders within departments/institutions a national mentorship leadership scheme would provide spaces for support and development of staff

There is often the perception that getting key skills and knowledge that can help aspire towards leadership posts but getting the ability is difficult so shadowing programmes would allow this

I think one of the problems in BS are targetted/strategic appointments that are not advertised - so they end up rep

We need the stick to prompt action -link to journal papers? What is the stick for Business Schools? Need it for accreditation ( e.g. AACSB/Equis/) etc and rankings?

Share resources (via CABS) and create universal resource

# data[].attributes.body
Need to network and share resources more so not left to one or two people in isolation in BSs

# data[].attributes.body
Use publicly shared data e.g. OfS publish attainment gap and prompt change as institutions are put on show
Events e.g BLM - lobby from students and staff - campaign/activities

# data[].attributes.body
focus on student support and pastoral care IS part of REC requirements - rather than an additional area of work - piggy back the work and make it part of it not additional

# data[].attributes.body
people working on REC areas in isolation - need to come together. How do you find these groups across institutions? Business Schools need to go to EDI leads and say they are willing to be the transformation and leads (esp given high % BAME staff and students)

Not as tokens but encourage volunteers. Set up an open forum committee where they can sit with VC  - voluntary and not being forced.

Not just mentoring but actively encouraging potential applicants to step forward

We need to work in the context in which business schools operate - e.g. journals are exclusive rather than inclusive and encourage the same methods, the same language, research with certain traditions that are mostly from North America and Europe - we need to include EDI criteria in our assessment (including CABS rankings)  of journals to ensure we include authors from diverse backgrounds and research from the global south - this then has implications for the progression of BAME colleagues

For example, REF should have EDI criteria in the assessment of institutions - e.g. diversity of staff and those included in the outputs and impact assesment put forward. The same with regard to TEF
