DON'T SIT AND WAIT FOR RACISM TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE

摘要

Q. IN LIGHT of recent events, what sort of conversations should commanders or junior leaders be having with their people on the subject of racism and how do they create a safe space for that discussion?Lt Gen Urch: It's really important that they create conditions where people can speak out without any form of retribution. As we know, the British Army mirrors many aspects of society; we recruit from all walks of life and we're not immune to racism by individuals. The key thing to reinforce is that we, as an organisation, will not tolerate it and it will be investigated if it is brought to the chain of command's attention.
