Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee

About

The EDI Committee was established to help drive greater equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging across Resolution and to ensure the organisation reflects the communities  members serve.

The committee works to:

• Understand the experiences and representation of members across different communities and backgrounds, using data, engagement and lived experience to identify barriers, gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Compare membership diversity data with wider workforce and sector benchmarks to better understand areas of underrepresentation.
• Promote a culture of inclusion, accessibility and belonging across Resolution’s work, activities, events, leadership and communications.
• Encourage wider participation and representation across the organisation, including among underrepresented groups, junior practitioners, regional members and those with different lived experiences.
• Create opportunities for open dialogue, collaboration and learning through member engagement, awareness initiatives, subgroup work and practical resources.

The committee’s work currently focuses on:

• Analysing membership equality, diversity and inclusion data, including trends identified through the membership EDI survey and comparisons with sector and workforce data.
• Supporting the development and implementation of Resolution’s EDI strategy, policy and associated action plans.
• Establishing and supporting focused subgroup work, including areas such as ethnicity and faith, disability and neurodiversity, socioeconomic background, LGBTQ+ inclusion and caring responsibilities.
• Developing guidance, resources and good practice materials to support inclusive practice across the profession.
• Working collaboratively with committees, members, staff and external stakeholders to ensure EDI considerations are embedded across Resolution’s activities and events.
• Communicating regularly with members about the committee’s work and progress across our various social channels.
