Many DCA members are new to diversity and inclusion (D&I) or to implementing D&I in their organisation. We often hear it can be hard to know where to start. The ‘Getting started on D&I‘ guide is designed for people who lead, implement, or support D&I work in their organisation.

Who should attend? This is suited to anyone leading, implementing, or supporting D&I work—whether you’re new to the role, part of an organisation just starting out, or an experienced practitioner looking to get back to basics.

DCA’s ‘Getting started on D&I’ guide will help you:

– get the basics right 

– identify priority areas and design and implement initiatives that address them

– find DCA resources to support your work and help you make the most of your membership.

You can use this guide and the resources available through your DCA membership to support your work. We outline the five key areas for getting started on D&I action – the ‘5 Ps of D&I’:

– Preparation

– People

– Policy

– Priorities

– Practice
