Systems change. People thrive. That’s the work.

09/05/2026

We've been quiet on here for a while.

Not dormant - working. But quiet.

And in that time, something shifted. The name changed.

The focus sharpened. What was once SR Consultancy CIC is now Social Responsibility & Change CIC.

Same roots. Clearer direction.

We exist to work with two kinds of people: organisations who can hear that something isn't working but can't yet see the root cause - and activists who know that fighting in isolation is limiting the change they can make.

The work is systemic. The approach is evidence-led. The belief underneath all of it is simple: Systems don't fail because people are broken. They fail because they were never designed with everyone in mind.

We're back. More soon.

Hey there!

It’s been a while! Things have been a lot and we hope you’re taking care of yourself!

Wondering what’s happening? A few things!

Before the end of the month, you can expect to see a few new free-to-you resources on the website.

Our Impact Report will be published in September.

And a name change is on its way! Still keeping with the initialism, but the meaning is changing! Very exciting times!

Look, ma, I made it!

Another day, another publication I have the honour of being quoted in

I love my job.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) published an article on dismantling the stigma on su***de, referencing the Business in the Community toolkit for employers on su***de prevention.

“Many people have suicidal thoughts, but we don’t talk about su***de enough and because of the stigma it almost makes it embarrassing to tell someone that this is what you are thinking and what is going on for you. It then becomes almost impossible for people to seek help,” says Shannon Rivers, Head of Inclusion & Wellbeing Advisory at Business in the Community (BITC)…

“As Rivers explains, employers have a major role in mitigating su***de risk and adds that BITC advocates the use of wellbeing action plans, which includes skilling-up line managers so they can identify when employees are showing distress signals.

“Rivers adds it is important that employers also put together a step-by-step plan to support those who have survived a su***de attempt. This includes setting out the support available, how much leave is taken and how it is recorded and the return-to-work process. BITC recommends a phased approach back to work where possible.

“She also says employers should put together detailed plans if someone does take their own life. This should include the support available to staff who may have worked closely with that person as well as the bereaved family.”

Check the full article here: https://www.rospa.com/news-and-views/dispelling-the-stigma-around-su***de.aspx for great information shared by the NHS, BITC member Osborne Clarke and others.

Let’s talk about ! He’s apologised, but was it enough? Let me know 👇🏽

went exploring this weekend. I went to Suffolk. I got lost and wandered through Woodbridge, by the beach in Felixstowe, drank local coffee, smiled a lot, great chat and company.

I forgot how fun it is to walk (10 miles!) with no destination. To go to a place that I don’t know and just wander. You find cool things like boats and great skies. Sunsets and moody clouds.

A lot of the time, when we go somewhere, we’re going somewhere to do something rather than just going to go.

Why do we do that? Why not just see what you find?

I remember being a kid and always exploring. Even as a young adult, I loved roaming and meandering through a place without a purpose.

We become ‘responsible’ and lose our sense of wonder as we get sceptical about life. Jaded by the world.*

I disconnected from social mostly and really breathed in a new chapter.

2023 is gonna be different. But, good different.

47 days left of the year. What are you doing with it?

*it’s not lost on me that I was able to get a picture like this on a mild day in November because of climate change.

I recently read a thought-provoking article about the importance of using metrics to guide your diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. You’ve heard me talk about metrics before. And why they’re important - how can you assess something you’re not measuring?

But here’s the thing: you don’t need NEW metrics focused on ‘DEI things’.

Rather, look at any metrics you have currently about things that matter to your organisation, and see where those results are different based on demographics.

That’s it.

You already HAVE the data, because you’re using it in your management of the organisation already.

You just have to see where there’s a differentiated experience for some groups of employees, and then dig in to why the difference exists and how to level the playing field.

What matters to you to measure and why does it matter? Is it aligning with your organisational pillars and your vision?

Don’t know what to measure? Let’s chat. Drop me a DM.

Today’s the day! 🎉

I am so excited to host the panel talk with , , and this evening!

Thank you to for partnering with Shannon Rivers Consultancy CIC for this panel talk discussing communications beyond Black History Month.

I hope that if you’re coming, you’ll feel comfortable to ask questions in a safer environment where we’ve all come to learn.

Do you judge books by their cover? 👀

A couple of weeks ago I was on a panel at Superwoman Fest talking about image. And one of the things that Jordan highlighted is being asked ‘does having pink hair limit who works with you’ and her response was yes, it does. She said it allows for a level of ‘self-screening’ of people who judge her on her choice of hair colour.

I elaborated that if there are people who don’t see past my purple braids or loud jackets or tattoos that they’re not bought into what I’m doing and what kind of collaborator I am.

I want people to go ‘ooh she’s cool.’ And think that if I can show up to do this work being true to myself, that I can relate to their quirks, and usually, the right people feel at ease with me because I’m unapologetically myself.

Don’t forget that professionalism is a construct. So, tell me, are you playing into that construct with your judgements?
