“I thought perhaps there was a time when a PM making a false statement in Parliament would apologise..” @MichaelMarmot on #childpoverty #healthinequalities2020 @ToynbeeHall @equalitytrust @FairLondon 
“Our lives depend on public health...” says @khankfarza in her critique and talks about the need to understand racialise #trauma and address hierarchy #healthinequalities2020
High level of community involvement in health initiatives but lack of presence in the research highlights @khankfarza #healthinequalities2020
You cannot rely on the evidence says @NatalieCreary to understand barriers and challenges - you need to speak to those living it now #healthinequalities2020
Funders need to think about ways to remove structural barriers so that all the £s don’t go to white-led organisations who then rely on BAME community organisations for intelligence, challenges @NatalieCreary #healthinequalities2020
Research on BAME communities is always from a deficit - @BlackThrive working with community researchers who have great reach - needs resourcing so they can have ownership - loving @NatalieCreary challenges - participation is not an afterthought! #healthinequalities2020
First questions coming from peer researchers @ToynbeeHall 💥 #healthinequalities2020
Ask how what we are investing in help the most vulnerable communities - investment into #trauma work, economic justice loss and bereavement - things that affect #BAME communities to move us from baseline of just looking at inequality says @khankfarza #healthinequalities2020
“Make large scale data your friend” suggests @MichaelMarmot - it shows up the structural #racism - engagement and partnership and agency is key to everything - imposition never works #healthinequalities2020
What can Goverment do now? @SianWilliams41 reiterates the question from peer researchers @ToynbeeHall ‘deal with the structural racism’ says @MichaelMarmot - ask why and address it! #healthinequalities2020
Evidence is there - ask what are the barriers to belief is the next question says @khankfarza b’cos the data alone is not working! #healthinequalities2020
“I couldn’t see myself in the research about me” says @NatalieCreary - research often does not name the structural racism it is describing #healthinequalities2020
Public health has a democratising potential - if we used it we would be somewhere else says @khankfarza & use insights of #disabilityjustice perspective #healthinequalities2020
#BlackLivesMatter looks more like a movement - the power of people to be heard & empowerment is key and is not given says @MichaelMarmot - we want more just societies & that has to come from people #healthinequalities2020
Moving away from a position of self interest to what is good for society as a whole - we need people to be open & explore through an #antiracist lens because our lives depend on it ends @NatalieCreary #healthinequalities2020
Where health and race intersect is about body and human dignity - potential is there for transformation ‘comfort and transformation cannot live in the same house’ ends @khankfarza #healthinequalities2020
Things have changed for the worse at national level but not the case that nothing is changing says @MichaelMarmot - look at local and regional egs #healthinequalities2020 - we need to put health equity at the heart of everything - not #austerity as in 2010
Fabulous event - thank you so much @MichaelMarmot @khankfarza @NatalieCreary @SianWilliams41 @ToynbeeHall @equalitytrust @FairLondon #healthinequalities2020 💥
