Equity, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in how we work, make decisions and treat one another.

We value diversity in all its forms and recognise that different perspectives strengthen the quality, integrity and impact of our work.

Our approach goes beyond compliance. We want everyone to contribute fully and authentically, supported by fair and inclusive practices in recruitment, development and everyday working life.

We are committed to:

  • fair and inclusive recruitment and employment practices 
  • reducing barriers that disadvantage individuals or groups 
  • recognising and supporting different experiences and needs 
  • designing accessible and inclusive ways of working.

To increase diversity in a sustained and authentic way, we regularly work in partnership with organisations including the Proud Science Alliance, Black in Biomed Conference, Black Women in Science Network and Onvero.

We believe fairness, respect and inclusion are fundamental to a healthy organisation – and essential to delivering our mission. Read about our EDI Advisory Committee.

We cannot produce change by continuing to do like for like. The first key is representation and community led, so that we're able to retain these diverse individuals and bring them into the sector, and hopefully change it.

I know that they do more than we even see, and for that we're super grateful...It's kind of indescribable how important and impactful that relationship has been for us.
