Primordial Equality Advisory Group Expression of Interest
We are creating the Primordial Equality Advisory Group to guide us in making Primordial Radio even more of a welcoming and inclusive place.
Occasionally people get things wrong, us included. No matter how good we currently are, we’d like to be better
Help us stick to Rule #1
Why are we doing this?
- To create an independent advisory body that helps Primordial Radio develop and maintain an equal, inclusive, and diverse culture.
What are we looking for?
- Interest in making Primordial an inclusive and welcoming space for all
- Lived Experience that can provide a different perspective – if you identify as a woman, disabled, BAME or LGBT+ we want to hear from you?
- Expertise or experience in the field of equality, diversity and inclusion – this could be in relation to HR, comms, research or anything!
What will you need to do?
- This is a work in progress so this could be subject to change, but it’s envisioned that membership of the advisory group would require 2-3 hours per month of your time.
- The aim of the group is to provide independent, advice and guidance so the station can evolve in a way that is welcoming and inclusive to all, and to ensure this commitment to inclusion is reflected in all the station does
There may be a slightly greater time commitment at the outset as processes and structures are being created and as we settle in and find the best ways of working - All involvement will be facilitated virtually so there would be no expectation to travel
Aims
- The Primordial community is inclusive, representative and welcoming to all
- Primordial Radio makes a positive contribution to a more equal, fair and inclusive society
- Inclusive decision-making that puts commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion into practice
- Checks and balances ensure external content presented by the station is in line with commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion
Objectives
- Set up an independent group, that is representative of diverse experiences, to provide advice and guidance to Primordial’s Directors
- Create process for referring issues/ concerns raised with the Directors about content that may fall short of equality and inclusion commitments to the Advisory Group
- Create guidance for representatives of Primordial to inform decisions about content published under the Primordial banner to ensure it is inclusive and aligns with equality and inclusion commitment
- Create a checklist to support inclusive decision-making (and supporting process for engaging the Advisory Group as part of planning and decision-making)
- Create a system for regular audits of content and reflections on past decisions to ensure consistent alignment with equality and inclusion commitments
