Just Plain Sense is a Podcast, a Blog and now series of videos produced by Equality and Diversity specialist and former campaigner, Christine Burns.

A bit of a mixed brew... The Podcast is firmly about Equality and Diversity. The Blog talks more loosely around the topic. And the video stream? Well ... that's not decided yet but I'm enjoying the learning curve with a completely random selection of material as I settle down to working out how best to use it.
About Me:
 
I am a professional Equality and Diversity specialist and was formerly a campaigner for many years in the UK.

I currently chair the North West Equality and Diversity Group and am an advisor to the Department of Health on LGBT equality issues. My professional clients include a number of NHS and other public sector organisations and my work involves helping them to ensure their services are inclusive and compliant with the requirements of the law.

I have published a regular Equality and Diversity Podcast (Just Plain Sense) for some time. This is believed to be the world's only regular Podcast dealing in depth in the topic. I also Blog about Equality and Diversity and the back story to the Podcast.

I'm not yet sure how this YouTube channel will complement these established outlets, but for the moment I am experimenting with the medium before trying anything serious.

Hello, thank you for the comment. I read your contribution to Finding The Real Me and had to see if I could find you on youtube.

You might notice that the channel has a new snazzy look and feel. This is because I've signed up to the beta version of YouTube's new channel format.

All the new videos going up at the moment relate to the recent BCS Lovelace Colloquium -- an event designed to enthuse and inspire women undergraduates about career propects in the IT profession. For more details see the latest Podcast at http://podcast.plain-sense.co.uk

that's odd - just tried to subscribe to you & nothing happened. & I'm on a different server than the MoJ normally uses. Could be a YouTube thing?

At last! The first "Just a Plain Sense Minute" video is recorded and uploaded. See PC Bernie Clifton talk for just one minute about his work. There will be a full interview with Bernie about NTPA in the Just Plain Sense Podcast in a few days' time. Watch for details at http://podcast.plain-sense.co.uk

No progress yet on the new format as the first subject let me down last week and I'm very busy with consultancy projects. In the meantime, however, there are new Podcasts here : http://podcast.plain-sense.co.uk

Watch this space. I have now decided on a format for a series of short and simple Equality and Diversity videos. I've started approaching people to feature and hope to start filming the first one or two in the next couple of weeks. CB
