Synopsis

The Six Stages Framework focuses on broad and specific issues of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to support individuals and organisations in their fight against racism, with the aim of promoting a more equitable society, one that does not discriminate according to race, colour, appearance or other differences. It acknowledges that racial equity is about humanity, about how we see and interact with each other at a human level, without interference from politics, entitlement or ‘caves of privilege’, and depends strongly on empathy and compassion. The Framework helps people identify their position on a developmental journey and spectrum of racism awareness, and moves them in a positive direction, to explore and challenge their beliefs, values and behaviours and change attitudes, prejudices and biases. It increases awareness of the self and others, promotes understanding and regulation of behavioural and emotional responses, and leads to positive action against issues of race. The Six Stages Framework comprises a tool, training and coaching programmes.
