A commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) is fundamental to UKIHCA’s core values, ensuring our success as a high-performing global institution with a positive and supportive culture, where all staff, consultants, partners, and members feel empowered and respected. 

DEIB requires a strong commitment and concerted action to build an inclusive environment where opportunities are open to all, diversity is valued, and where everybody can reach their full potential without fear of harassment, prejudice, or discrimination. Everyone in our community is responsible for making UKIHCA an inclusive environment where all individuals feel welcome and can be themselves. 

Our work to embed DEIB is anchored in the legal duties as applied to the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010.  

In addition, we are committed to fostering a culture where DEIB is at the core of everything we do. This policy outlines our approach to creating an environment that values the unique contributions of every individual, ensures fairness, and promotes a sense of belonging and wellbeing for all employees, partners, and stakeholders.  

UKIHCA’s commitment to DEIB encompasses all areas of our operations including supporting members, staff and volunteers, policy and decision-making practices, work with other stakeholders, and general implementation of our organisational core values (professionalism, enterprise, and community) pillars.
