Applying EDI: Organisational Practice and Change

Knowing the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion is important. For people with organisational responsibility, the next step is how that influences what happens in practice.

Applying EDI: Organisational Practice and Change explores how organisations can identify barriers, make fairer and more informed decisions, develop inclusive processes and review whether their approach is working.

The course brings together the essential foundations of EDI with additional learning focused on organisational responsibility. You will consider areas including leadership and governance, recruitment and progression, reporting routes, policy and procedure, accessible programme design, action planning, data and accountability.


Throughout, examples are based on the kinds of decisions faced across creative, cultural and heritage organisations.
