Our leadership team for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion is committed to taking ownership in promoting ED&I and acting as role models.
What is ED&I? No Barriers!
Equality (Equity): Ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities. Equity recognises that advantages and barriers exist, and that, as a result, we don't all start from the same place. Equity is a process that begins by acknowledging an unequal starting place and makes a commitment to correct and address the imbalance.
Diversity: The differences between us, e.g., age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual identity, disability, but also experience, socio-economic background, education, different cultures, and ways of thinking - basically anything that differentiates us from each other. Some differences are permanent, and some change over time; they are what make us all unique.
Inclusion: Ensuring everyone has a sense of belonging, feels valued, respected, and supported without prejudice, and that their differences are appreciated.
