Diversity and Inclusion network groups

Background and purpose

Strategy24 emphasises the importance of a sense of belonging, mobility and diversity and ongoing learning. 

The purpose of special network groups is to achieve this in the context of specific member and student profiles and representation needs. They focus on bringing greater awareness and promotion of inclusion across Institute staff, members, students, and member businesses through networking events, information sessions, data capture, publications and encouraging senior members to be visible and engaged role-models.

Another objective is to stregthen existing relationships with allies in the Institute network, and find ways to build many more, as our membership grows.

A key focus will be to foster a sense of belonging, an inclusive space in which members can meet, engage, share, and develop. 
 
The network groups initiatives will also help to promote Chartered Accountancy as a career of choice for all communities.

Get involved and find out more

  • When the groups hold events, they will be listed on the Events and Activities page.
  • To join or to find out more about any group or any other D&I activities in the Institute, please email the committee.
