Hate Crime and Discrimination: Finding The Way Forward | Chad Marshall-Lane | TEDxPeterborough

In his talk, Chad will look at discrimination and rising hate crime in the UK, explore what defines a hate crime and explain why he thinks we need to take Equality and Diversity training a step further to build an accepting and supportive society of the future. Chad has worked in health and social care for over 25 years and set up his own training company to concentrate on inclusion, diversity and acceptance. Chad is passionate about promoting equality and diversity within the workplace and across society as a whole. Chad believes that basic equality and diversity is no longer enough. He is passionate about promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion for everyone, no matter who they are or what their background is. Chad identifies as a straight male and does not get questioned about his gender identity anymore. However, discrimination and hate crime for the LGBTQ+ community is on the rise. With this in mind Chad uses his experiences, knowledge and training to help raise awareness so that society can be inclusive and accepting of everyone. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
