]]> 2020-09-14 15:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744363731 We are good at getting in front of this as an issue. We were already looking at improvement. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744371139 2020-09-14 15:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744371139 Not surprised. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744553456 2020-09-14 15:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744553456 Explore the why behind the comment. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744582768 2020-09-14 15:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744582768 Would be good for there to be a national statement we could use. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744583969 2020-09-14 15:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744583969 Feel quite comfortable tackling with volunteers we know well but would appreciate some support from MC with the right message. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744586340 2020-09-14 15:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744586340 Would ask manager for support to make sure we get the right message and policy is. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744588360 2020-09-14 15:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/744588360 Impressed on how proactive Marie Curie is being on addressing this - we are seeing it being taken seriously as an issue. Keen to learn more on this https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745405367 2020-09-14 18:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745405367 Always felt like Marie Curie is good at being inclusive when it comes to patients and service users. Not really considered how that relates to staff before now - good to see that when we are talking about equality, diversity and inclusion that we are talking about staff and volunteers https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745410326 2020-09-14 18:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745410326 Feel that it is absolutely important that we are looking at EDI. As a charity that purports to care for people we need to make sure that we actually are caring about everyone https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745417045 2020-09-14 18:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745417045 We all have a personal responsibility to play a role in this. We want EDI to be the norm for the entire organisation https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745420436 2020-09-14 18:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745420436 Good that we are having a conversation about this but the important thing is that there are actions behind it, both collective charity wide actions but also individual actions. We must all play a part if we want the culture to change https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745422060 2020-09-14 18:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745422060 The action Marie Curie is taking feels authentic and genuine, not tokenistic. It feels that this message is coming right from the top, very positive that ELT are so involved in this and driving implementation of change https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745425595 2020-09-14 18:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745425595 I just don't think about my ethnicity. I don't need to think about it, doesn't come into my head to think about it. Is that because I'm White British so I'm in the majority? https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745433109 2020-09-14 18:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745433109 in the last few months my white privilege has started to weigh heavily on my, feel guilty and naïve that I haven't been aware of this before now https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745436047 2020-09-14 18:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745436047 Mad. It is so disappointing. really don't like the aggressive/confrontational tone. It feels threatening - the attitude of 'I've been a supporter for 15 years and if you keep doing this I won't support you any more', makes me want to say 'well maybe you shouldn't support us anymore, maybe we don't want you' https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745440379 2020-09-14 18:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745440379 It is very narrow minded. This is a post about the LGBTQ+ community but what if that then extended to that person disagreeing because we want make sure people of all different ethnicities are supported. Where do you draw the line? https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745449279 2020-09-14 18:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745449279 I'd feel uncomfortable but I'd be prepared to give it a go if I had the chance to prepare and get myself ready. I'd find it hard as I don't like confrontation. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745456631 2020-09-14 18:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745456631 I'd feel totally fine about addressing this direct with the volunteer. I feel like I would have to say something, maybe have to have a think about what to say, but I'd definitely want to say something https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745460192 2020-09-14 18:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745460192 I think this should be addressed publicly on Facebook. I'd like to see Marie Curie verify our stance on this in a public forum https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745463731 2020-09-14 18:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745463731 I'd address this type of comment with a member of staff so why wouldn't I do the same with this person as a registered volunteer? They are our representatives in the local community so we should be making sure they are behaving in line with our charity ethos https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745466781 2020-09-14 18:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745466781 I need some more training on this. I need to know how Marie Curie would want me to respond, what our charity opinion is on this and what stance we take when having specific conversations like this https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745471216 2020-09-14 18:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745471216 I would want to address this in a face to face conversation https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745475327 2020-09-14 18:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/745475327 Think it is really important that MC is tackling this issue, we are very aware MC is a white and female dominated organisation and that our levels of diversity are quite low - feel happy to be addressing this https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747252564 2020-09-15 10:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747252564 Mc is already inclusive but not pushing the boundaries however believe we don't see much discrimination at Marie Curie https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747253651 2020-09-15 10:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747253651 Want to be a part of the change but scared to say or do things wrong - want more guidance from the organisation. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747254627 2020-09-15 10:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747254627 Confused, not sure they this volunteer is so offended by this. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747255490 2020-09-15 10:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747255490 'could have been worse' this is a very subtle form of discrimination and would be harder to address than a more direct form or racism/sexism or homophobia. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747255841 2020-09-15 10:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747255841 I wouldn't be sure what to say, I would try to understand where she was coming from and why she has those views. I would try to relate it back to her friends as she has stated she has gay friends and that surely she would want them to feel supported by Marie Curie and that we are fully inclusive. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747258816 2020-09-15 10:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747258816 I would need support from colleagues or management on how to address this - wouldn't feel confident having this conversation without any support (all people in group felt this way). https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747258927 2020-09-15 10:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747258927 shocked https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747259643 2020-09-15 10:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747259643 Have seen colleagues and volunteers have subconscious bias to other volunteers based on class before, more issues than just race to be addressed. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747260285 2020-09-15 10:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747260285 would need support and guidance on best way to approach this. https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747261590 2020-09-15 10:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747261590 I'd try to re-educate them. hannahtaylor82 https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747450925 2020-09-15 12:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahtaylor82/smckyb0x61grk360/wish/747450925
