Equality, diversity and inclusion

Our work in this area is a fundamentally important process for the College; that we hold a mirror up to ourselves, look at whether we truly reflect the breadth and diversity of our membership and put into place the actions that will answer these questions.

Our progress on opening up volunteer roles

One year on from the publication of our action plan, we report back on what we have achieved and what still needs to be done. This summary shows progress against our four pledges.

One year on report

Phase 2 - working for change

Earlier this year, and with input from a wide range of members we published reports on four topics: working lives of paediatricians; health outcomes for children and young people; College volunteering and awards; and our College.

Our approach and governance
