Race Equality Week 2025
Thursday 6th February
1:00pm to 2:00pm
ONLINE
We are excited to introduce our special event to celebrate Race Equality Week 2025.
​
Running from 3rd to 9th February 2025, this year's Race Equality Week theme is: Every Action Counts. We invite you to come long to our session and share your actions.
To do this, we would love you to share with us something you have seen recently that has made you stop and react. Whether it's a book you've read, an event you’ve attended or a social media post, we’d like to hear about it.
​
Through sharing what we have each found inspiring, this event aims to:
​
- Share information and resources
- Share personal experiences and stories
- Ignite debate and amplify our learning towards a Scottish legal profession that is racially more aware and accepting.
​
Attendees will leave the session with a takeaway resource to continue their work after Race Equality Week ends.
Please share your book or posts in advance to help us prepare. Your contributions can be anonymous, if you prefer.

Preparing for Ramadan 2025
Thursday 20th February
1:00pm to 2:00pm
ONLINE
Come and learn first-hand from Muslim colleagues their experience of observing Ramadan in the Scottish Legal Profession.
With the inevitable tales of ’not even water?’ to ‘what, you don't eat or drink for a month?’, we will demystify the realities of fasting while working in the legal profession.
We will share with you our experience and tips on how best to prepare for Ramadan (whether you are observing or supporting Muslim colleagues) dispel the myths and explore the changes we have seen over the years.
​
**We are looking for panel members to join us for this event! Please contact us at hello@diversityplus.info if you are interested.**
