Inclusion isn’t about just meeting obligations under equality law or having a visibly diverse workforce. It’s about creating a culture where diversity is highly prized, where people feel respected and valued, and where everyone knows that they will get the opportunities, support and resources that they need to succeed. As well as factors such as age, sex, race, religion, sexuality, disability or gender identity, we need to consider other characteristics that can cause people to be excluded or marginalised, such as their socio-economic background, any neuro differences, or whether they have caring responsibilities. Inclusion doesn’t mean treating everyone exactly the same. It’s about understanding people’s different needs, perspectives and backgrounds, and ensuring equality of experience.

  • The key benefits for organisations and employers who adopt inclusive policies

  • How to take an inclusive approach that supports all people and makes them feel invested in the team and the organisation
  • Best-practice solutions and strategies to create an inclusive working environment
