About
TRIUMPH (Tackling Racism and Inequality with Underrepresented and Marginalised People Honestly), since July 2020, has reviewed, surveyed and had much needed dialogue about the systemic inequities that still exist in our beloved sector – with a core focus on racial inequality.
The mission is simple. The journey may be less so...
Made up of colleagues from UK Youth, the Institute of Youth Work, Think Forward, Young Devon, the New Economics Foundation, 7PK and more, we are progressing the youth sector through Awareness Raising, Analysis and Active Facilitation to:
- Diversify leadership
- Develop a standard of anti-oppressive practise
- Ensure organisations are equipped to take ownership over their equalities practise
Our Approach
Through conversations and planning amongst funders, decision-makers, infrastructure bodies and cross-sector organisations, we are going to embed equitable practise into youth sector culture.
The 3 A's:
- Awareness - We are raising awareness of the ways in which current practise, service delivery and operations (within the youth sector) reinforce inequality; whilst making the sector aware of of new practise that will help to close the inequality gap, creating a model for others to learn from.
- Analysis - We will analyse programmes, interventions and data to establish where requirements for more focus on tackling inequalities and inequities are needed; whilst identifying opportunities for improvement in planned programmes or initiatives whose model could be made more equitable.
- Active Facilitation - As a critical and proactive sector body, we will co-create and implement effective solutions through advocacy and by developing of models of practise that organisations hold themselves accountable to; leading to sustained change across the sector.
