  • Unpacking the Barriers and Benefits of Citizenship Privilege

    In this episode of the Privilege Eruption podcast, hosts Ishreen Bradley and Gracie Williams delve into the topic of citizenship privilege and its impact on individuals and organisations. They explore why people go to extreme lengths to obtain multiple citizenships, the barriers and enablers of citizenship, and the fear and misconceptions surrounding immigration. Ishreen and Gracie discuss the implications of citizenship privilege in the workplace, including access to talent, mobility of staff, and the potential economic benefits. They also highlight the importance of valuing diverse experiences and skills in creating a more inclusive and equitable work environment. Overall, this thought-provoking episode sheds light on the complexities of citizenship privilege and encourages listeners to challenge their assumptions and biases.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Citizenship privilege can have a significant impact on individuals' ability to travel and access certain benefits and services. It can enable freedom of movement and ease of travel, but it can also create barriers and limitations for those without certain citizenship privileges.

    • Brexit has brought attention to the privilege of having citizenship and the potential challenges and uncertainties it can create. Some British citizens have sought citizenship in multiple countries to maintain flexibility and protect themselves from the consequences of Brexit.

    • The impact of citizenship privilege extends to the workplace. Access to the best talent, mobility of staff, and cost-effectiveness in transferring employees between countries can be influenced by citizenship privileges. Stewarding citizenship privilege in the workplace can lead to increased diversity, different skills and experiences, and overall organizational and economic benefits.

    • Fear and misconceptions often surround citizenship privilege, such as concerns about cultural dilution, access to basic services, and job competition. These fears can contribute to hostility and misunderstandings between different groups of people.

    • The process of gaining citizenship can be challenging and costly, creating barriers for individuals who wish to obtain citizenship privileges. The UK, in particular, has been noted as one of the countries with more stringent requirements for citizenship. Opening up more opportunities for legal application and reducing financial barriers could help individuals gain citizenship privilege.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I've always sort of had that privilege of being from here, not having to worry about whether I need to pay extra to be here or to fight for my spot." 

    "There are privileges we have around the benefits we have access to… So they can't even come here unless they've already got the visa." 

    "So, maybe the UK could do more to at least open up the opportunity to apply in a legal way… People might get rejected, but at least they can apply." 

    "I think the main thing that people fear is their culture will be diluted and overtaken… their way of life will be affected by different cultures coming in and having different wants and needs." 

    "Diversity isn't just about making sure that everyone is like, 'we've got people from this background, this from that background', it's looking into 'why', it's looking into the different experiences that these people have from these different backgrounds."

  • How to Balance the Scales of Neurodivergent Privilege - Individually, Systemically and Structurally

    Get ready for another exciting episode with Ishreen, Roger, and our special guest, Reena Anand! In part 3 of our series, Reena opens up about her journey as a parent of a neurodivergent child and shares some fantastic insights on making the world a more inclusive place for neurodivergent folks. We'll dive deep into topics like education, flexibility, and the power of being an ally in knocking down barriers and promoting fairness and inclusion. So, grab your headphones and get ready to be inspired! Remember, it's all about doing your own research, questioning biases, and actively championing a culture of acceptance and understanding.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    1. Don't expect neurodivergent individuals to be responsible for educating others about their condition. Take ownership and educate yourself about neurodiversity, including understanding the right language and terminology.

    2. Be flexible and accommodating in the workplace, especially when working on group projects or setting deadlines. Recognize the specific needs of neurodivergent colleagues and avoid making assumptions about their capabilities or commitment levels.

    3. Check your language and avoid using ableist language or making assumptions about neurodivergent individuals. Educate yourself on inclusive language and be mindful of the impact of your words.

    4. Familiarize yourself with the specific needs of different neurodivergent conditions, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. This knowledge will enable you to be a source of support and understanding.

    5. Be an ally for the neurodivergent community. In meetings and discussions, consider how decisions and actions may impact marginalized groups, including neurodivergent individuals. Advocate for their needs and ensure their voices are heard and considered.

    BEST MOMENTS

    1. "For a start, don't say that everyone's on the spectrum, because fundamentally ableist thing to say."

    2. "You have to take ownership to learn a bit yourself and as a minimum learn what is the right language, what is a neurotype, what is the difference between neurodivergence and neurodivergent."

    3. "If you don't know what the barriers and struggles are of other groups, you're never going to be able to empathize and be able to be an ally in a room where things are being discussed."

    4. "I told him he was autistic when he was six, he didn't quite get it. I told him again when he was seven, it made sense. And I think it was the age of eight, he did a presentation to the year group around what it means to be autistic and how proud he is of it."

    5. "When you're in a room, when meeting schedules are being circulated, when programs are being designed, ask yourself consciously, who might this impact? Who can we check in with to make sure that marginalized groups are not inadvertently disadvantaged by what we're proposing to do?"

  • When You Get It Right with Neurodivergent Privilege - Individually, Systemically and Structurally

    Ishreen and Roger return with their guest Reena Anand. They'll explore the unique challenges that neurodivergent individuals face and why it's so crucial to foster an inclusive workplace culture. Tune in as they chat about the importance of customizing support for neurodivergent employees and why an ongoing, personalized approach is key. Plus, they'll shed light on the systemic hurdles and societal biases that neurodivergent individuals often encounter.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The importance of creating a culture of inclusion for all: The podcast emphasizes the need for organizations to recognize the impact of power, privilege, and purpose at work and strive to create a culture where everyone feels a sense of connection and belonging.
    • The value of getting it right: When organizations prioritize inclusion and make efforts to accommodate the needs of neurodivergent individuals, they can experience benefits such as increased loyalty, out-of-the-box thinking, and improved mental health and well-being among employees.
    • The need for a two-way conversation: Instead of assuming the needs of neurodivergent individuals, organizations should engage in open and ongoing dialogue to understand their unique requirements. This approach allows for a more personalized and effective accommodation process.
    • The importance of psychological safety: Organizations must create an environment where individuals feel safe to disclose their neurodivergent status and ask for support. This requires fostering a culture of trust, vulnerability, and acceptance.
    • The impact of systemic barriers: Neurodivergent individuals, particularly those from global majority backgrounds, face systemic barriers such as stigma, lack of representation, and limited access to resources. Organizations need to address these barriers and provide equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their neurodivergent status.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "There's no such thing as, well, I'm okay because I'm in this group. That's just your problem."

    "So if you are from a global majority background and you're a divergent and in work, wow, you have overcome some serious issues, societal stigma, you've probably had parents who were huge advocates."

    "I was so relieved because it explained so many things about my life and my history and even the ways I was feeling about things right at that point and right at that moment."

    "So few organizations promote it and push it and make the most out of that change."

    "You're firing so many thoughts in my head as you say all this, you know, I'm thinking particularly for a person who's neurodivergent, giving them a massive list will be really scary."

  • What is Neurodivergent Privilege? - Breaking the Wheel of Power and Privilege

    Ishreen and Roger dive into the real-life challenges of power and privilege when it comes to ableism. They're joined by the amazing Reena Anand, who's not just a solicitor and former ombudsman but also a parent with personal experience in the world of neurodiversity. Together, they unpack the hurdles and disparities faced by neurodivergent individuals in schools and jobs.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    1.  Privilege and power dynamics greatly affect neurodivergent individuals from diverse backgrounds, necessitating action for workplace equity.
    2. Neurodiverse students of Black, Asian, and Chinese backgrounds in mainstream schools face insufficient support despite a higher prevalence of autism.
    3. A psychologically safe workplace is vital for neurodivergent individuals and parents of neurodivergent children to openly discuss challenges.
    4. Recognizing and addressing deep-seated ableist attitudes is crucial to removing barriers faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families.

    BEST MOMENTS

    1. "There was nowhere I could go that saw me as a global majority employee who is a parent of a neurodivergent child."

    2. "You can create so much harm if you're encouraging your staff to be themselves but not providing a psychologically safe environment."

    3. "Only 11% said that after they had disclosed their neurodivergence, they didn't experience any discriminational barriers."

    4. "Relative privilege is fundamentally something that shows up in so many different contexts, where people's position and power shifts dynamically."

    Kami Nuttall is a culture at work expert, derived from 20 years of experience working with organisations, seeing how they work from a governance, risk, ways of working and people perspectives - understanding the human experience at work. And because she is committed to human development, she is building on her psychology and social anthropology background – she has trained with the Anti-Discrimination Foundation on culture, heritage, and anti-discrimination practices, and is a qualified hypnotherapist. Her purpose is to help leaders create cultures that are inclusive, and psychologically safe, that enable people to safely speak up.  She is driven to do this work because of her belief that organisations should maintain and evidence high standards of accountability towards their people and customers.
