"This book is a practical guide for anyone who wants to make their organisation more diverse and inclusive but doesn’t know where to start. It follows a logical order of themes and tools and leaves the reader with an actionable plan.

A go-to text for real solutions to diversity in the workplace

"As an early years teacher I recognise the importance of instilling equality and a sense of diversity in our very youngest. However, the unfortunate truth is these children continue to enter a world of inequality and bias as they leave education, particularly in the workplace. Therefore having not just an awareness, but a set of tools to employ as a business is really important. This book provides exactly that."
