Equality, diversity and inclusion form

We have a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion within the College, and these principles are embedded into our values and the way we work. It is for this reason that we are working hard to create and foster the proper representation of ethnic minority, gender and other groups that share protected characteristics in the work of the College and wider specialty. In order to achieve this we are conducting wide-ranging projects to obtain the necessary data to underpin a strategic, supportive and open approach to EDI.

To help us do this, we encourage you to complete the following questionnaire on ethnicity, diversity and inclusion as this data will help us:

  • develop a more detailed picture of our membership profile so we can consider and address areas of under-representation
  • better understand the needs of our Fellows, Members and stakeholders
  • inform strategic planning and policy reform to improve equality, diversity and representation across our work
  • assess the impact of our initiatives and;
  • promote, develop and foster positive relations between different groups.

In line with the Data Protection Act 2018 (C.12), the College will always keep your information safe and stored appropriately. Please see our Privacy Policy for further details. You can request for your data to be deleted if you change your mind.



The College is determined to create a more inclusive environment at all levels where differences are valued and respected.
