embedding a diverse and inclusive GSR culture’ has been developed and written by the profession for the profession as well as allied professions and disciplines. Diversity and inclusion

(D&I) forms one strand of the GSR Strategy 2021-2025: ‘Social Research In and For Government’ and demonstrates the profession’s commitment to D&I. To achieve GSR’s goal of putting

people and society-centred research, advice and design at the heart of government decision-making, the profession needs to be diverse and inclusive, bringing diversity of perspectives to

thinking and being inclusive of the population as a whole. GSR will build and embed D&I through four main strands: * Attracting a diverse profession: Raising awareness of GSR and

increasing applications, particularly from underrepresented groups * Inclusive and fair recruitment and selection: Ensuring no overt or unconscious discrimination within selection processes,

providing a fair and unbiased process for candidates * Embedding and retaining an inclusive culture: Inclusive and supportive culture where all members have the opportunity to develop their

career * Accurate monitoring of GSR data: Accurate and timely data with which to monitor and prioritise D&I interventions within GSR Progress against our D&I goals will require work

across all levels of GSR: our Strategy and Profession Boards; our departmental Heads of Profession; and individual members. Culture change requires concerted and sustained activity; this

Strategy is simply the first step. UPDATES TO THIS PAGE Published 29 January 2021 SIGN UP FOR EMAILS OR PRINT THIS PAGE Get emails about this page Print this page
