Diversity in Leadership & Governance

Thank you @DCMS for engaging with us on the newly announced Charities Bill. We want to see a statutory duty requiring charities to publish their Trustee-level diversity data as a way of creating change. Words aren't enough. We’ll be calling for this when it comes to Parliament.

During the local election campaign we've been raising diversity issues in the public & charitable sector with each of the political parties. Thank you to all of the parties for engaging with us, and most recently Mayor of London @SadiqKhan. We look forward to discussing further!

Ahead of May's election we are quizzing all the political parties on their commitment to improving diversity in the leadership of the public and charitable sectors. We are delighted to hear from @sianberry and @TheGreenParty on their work to improve diversity and inclusion.

Thank you @GavinWilliamson and @educationgovuk for engaging with us on the new Further Education White Paper - we believe that improved diversity in the governance of the FE sector is essential and with it requirements to ensure this. Diversity in governance isn't optional.

We've been asking the London Mayoral candidates their views on increasing diversity in the public and charitable sector. Thank you @LuisaPorritt from the @LibDems for your encouraging reply and commitment to improve this. We believe that better board level diversity is vital.
