IMPALA designed the surveys with its equity, diversity and inclusion task force and input from Keith Harris OBE as adviser, as well as in consultation with national associations. The aim of the exercise was, on the one hand, to map best practices, local developments and projects regarding diversity and inclusion; on the other hand, to start building a basic picture of the sector’s diversity and key issues faced.
