We’re happy to now launch our Equity, Diversity and Belonging Strategy 2024–2027, following the EDB strategy consultation in August 2023.
I’m incredibly proud of the way we’ve co-created our Equity, Diversity and Belonging (EDB) Strategy. It’s been shaped and guided by a wide range of voices and perspectives across the profession, including members, staff and public contributors.
– Odeth Richardson, Chair of BAOT/RCOT Council
What is our EDB Strategy?
Our EDB Strategy is bold and ambitious and recognises the challenge of becoming an anti-discriminatory and anti-racist organisation – an organisation that not only meets but exceeds our legal obligations and works hard to deliver our organisational values and professional standards.
In the strategy you can read about:
- our vision
- our EDB strategic priorities and aims
- where we are today
- how we developed the strategy
- what EDB means to us.
Our Equity, Diversity and Belonging Strategy will guide us on our journey to creating a culture of authenticity and belonging, where everyone is welcomed, celebrated, supported, recognised and valued. Where everyone feels they belong as their true and authentic selves. I’m really proud that it’s been created from the views and voices of our members, stakeholders and staff.
– Steve Ford, RCOT CEO
