We’ve launched five new EDB networks on RCOT Communities

By: RCOT 25 September, 2025 News
We don’t just want members to connect – we want them to connect authentically.
Head over to RCOT Communities and you’ll find five new equity, diversity and belonging networks to help strengthen connection, solidarity and advocacy across our profession.

All RCOT members are invited to join, share experiences, learn and show support in the following networks:

  • LGBTQIA+
  • Disability
  • Carers
  • Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (B.A.M.E)
  • Interfaith.

‘By creating visible, active and supportive communities, we’re helping shape a future where equity, diversity and belonging are at the heart of occupational therapy.’ 

Ketan Davé – Equity, Diversity and Belonging Lead

These networks matter because they create spaces where members can connect with others who share lived experiences, reflect on challenges and opportunities, champion equity across the profession and discover ways to drive positive change.

It’s only by hearing the experiences of those from minoritised backgrounds that we’ll develop new ways of practice and build stronger pathways into the profession.

The networks will amplify voices that are too often under-represented or unheard, helping to build a profession where everyone feels welcomed, celebrated, supported and valued.
