Equality, diversity and inclusion

Our work in this area is a fundamentally important process for the College. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of our membership and provide fair and equal opportunities for all, supported by insights from our member reference group and staff working group.

Working for change

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. Two years later, in March 2023, we report on our progress.

Our current priorities

We're working to deliver the actions outlined in 'Working for change', and we update on our biggest projects, including reciprocal mentoring, removing barriers to volunteering and investigating differential attainment.

Our approach and governance

Our members expect the College to show leadership in this area. Our oversight group ensures EDI is embedded across the College, and the member reference group feeds in valuable insight.

Diversity monitoring form

The College is committed to becoming a more inclusive organisation. However, we need data as a starting point to understand representation across our membership; only then can we seek to advance equality of opportunity. Please take five minutes to complete our form – you’ll need to log in with your RCPCH number.
