There's been interesting debate around this proposal.Thoughts:
It obvs comes from a 'good place'
It does feel clunky to ask #BAME staff to develop solutions & strategic insight to solve problems not of their making.
Such forums can lack clarity imho https://www.england.nhs.uk/blog/allied-health-professional-workforce-diversity/

Is it for #BAME staff to join & offer insight & share their stories?
Or is it for all staff to come together & develop solutions?
It states it will provide "a #BAME perspective, but then states it is open to all.

A danger is such forums suggest it's only 'their' problem to fix.
Renumeration is tricky. Historically healthcare culture seems to require that much work is done pro-bono. As if fair pay clouds motive.
Overall I do think this proposal is +ve but needs greater clarity.

So how do we bring #BAME staff & white allies together in a productive way (with fair compensation) for the considerable time & effort it will take over a sustained period of time?

AND promote #BAME only platforms providing safe arenas to share their stories & critical insight?
