Research Inclusion

Delivering equity, equality, diversity and inclusion in research

Our consortium is committed to advocating the cause of Racism, Discrimination, and Intersectionality (R, D &I) within our research. We aim to cultivate an environment that encourages equity and respect in every aspect of our research. This includes everything from workforce recruitment and development to collaborating with diverse stakeholders.

Our vision

We want to demonstrate diversity, inclusion and fairness in all our research efforts. Our aim is to prioritise patient maternity outcomes by upholding impartiality, taking action and building cultural understanding. We strive to cultivate an inclusive, diverse culture that amplifies all voices and fosters cooperation and partnership.

Our strategic aims
  • Develop an inclusive culture and behaviour to sustain a diverse workforce that reflects the rich diversity of our community
  • Equip our workforce to competently implement R, D & I principles in maternity research
  • Create an inclusive environment for Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement, where our work can be shaped by the diverse communities we serve
  • Continuously monitor our R, D & I initiatives, analysing data to enhance and refine our approach.
