They will not be recorded to ensure that people can be open and honest in sharing their opinions and views.
You will not be forced to turn on their video or audio if they do not wish to, although we very much encourage you to if you can and feel safe in doing so.
The purpose of the Talk about Race forums is to share lived experience, provide some support for each other and for those with responsibilities for your learning and development to better understand your racialised experiences and their impact on you.

Talk about Race forums will be mediated by STRIVE staff who have experience of mediating these spaces and understanding of lived experience.
There are also safe spaces of reflection & dialogue with health and well-being support coaches and Chaplains who are available to STRIVERS who may feel that they need some emotional support following the forums.
