Science Council’s Declaration on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
AAPT add our signature to the Science Council’s Declaration on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The Science Council is committed to widening participation in science, education and the workplace.
To this end the Science Council and its member bodies commit to challenging inequities, removing barriers when identified and working towards equitable systems and processes which lead to better outcomes for all who work, and aspire to work and study, in the scientific professions.
This will require leadership from the Science Council and its member bodies. As a leading voice in science and the application of science, the Science Council will therefore seek every opportunity to be proactive in communicating this vision to educators, employers, policy makers, opinion formers and the public.
As we committed to in the AAPT Strategy 2021-2025, work is ongoing to create a comprehensive and fit-for-purpose equality, diversity and respect policy that encompasses recruitment, training and best practice policy and, as part of this important work, we are pleased to add our signature to the Science Council’s Declaration on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
This important subject impacts us all, and is integral to our work with the deceased and their loved-ones, as well as the wider professional community.
