Our committee for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The National Centre for Atmospheric Science’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (NEDI) oversees our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Living Action Plan, and makes recommendations to our Management Board.
The committee members work together to make plans for promoting equality, recognising diversity, and maintaining a working environment where staff feel they can bring their whole self to work.
While recognising the legal commitments set out in the Equality Act 2010, we aim to identify and challenge the hidden barriers within NCAS that may be preventing us from fully benefiting from a wider range of skills, attitudes and experience which an inclusive and diverse workplace brings.
The committee meets 3-4 times a years and is chaired by Lisa Banton, the Head of People, EDI and Workforce Development. The NEDI Terms of Reference explain in more detail what the committee sets out to do and why.
