Welcome to the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) Research Inclusion Toolkit
Research inclusion is vital to enable everyone to contribute to, and benefit from, health and social care research. This toolkit is primarily aimed at health and social care researchers at all career stages. It is also for people who support and advise researchers, such as advisors in the NIHR Research Support Service and other colleagues across NIHR infrastructure, and colleagues supporting research design and delivery in universities, the NHS, local authorities, industry and charities.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion framework for Speech Pathology Australia

I have been invited to be on a focus group to work with Speech Pathology Australia on their new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion framework.

Here is the invitation Over the past 12 months, Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) has been working with Diversity Partners to develop a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) framework. The framework will include the commitments and aspirations of Speech Pathology Australia to support diversity, equity and inclusion across the profession. The framework will guide and support Speech Pathology Australia with future implementation of DEI initiatives, as well as providing guidance to members to increase their understanding of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion issues within the speech pathology profession and inform practice. Initial consultation with key stakeholders was undertaken in 2022 and an advisory committee was formed to support the project planning. Diversity Partners undertook a literature review and have drafted the structure of a DEI framework for Speech Pathology Australia. Diversity Partners will now hold focus group discussions with key groups, including internal stakeholders and staff and external stakeholders, to gather feedback on the draft and to inform next steps. We are seeking your input by requesting you consider attending a focus group.
