Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Inclusiveness is one of our three key strategic values and we want it to be part of  everything we do and every decision we take - as a professional body and as an employer.  

Our commitment is to create a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion by:

• Focusing on ‘equity’ rather than ‘equality’ to create greater opportunities for minoritised people to fulfil their scientific potential.
• Challenging inequities and creating more inclusive practices and policies.
• Appointing an EDI Trustee who, in partnership with the senior leadership in the National Office will advocate the importance of equity, diversity and inclusion, and be accountable for our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion policy, improving practice and communicating our EDI approach to our staff, membership and other stakeholders.
• Measuring, assessing and reflecting on progress and reporting on our activities to our staff and members.
• Collaborating and sharing good practice with other professional bodies and linking up with other relevant organisations

It matters to us and it matters to our members
