Find out how you can engage and contribute to the work of the CSP Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) network or support us as an ally
The CSP Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) network welcomes new and existing CSP members (including students and associates) to engage in any or all of the ways that suit their needs. Membership is on the basis of self-identification and is confidential.
