The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust, with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund and Museum Development networks (North West, West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber), is carrying out research to establish a clear picture of how the heritage sector is engaging with issues of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in all areas of organisational life, particularly with regards to race and ethnicity.

It is seeking to establish an accurate picture of how the sector, particularly small to medium organisations, is working on equality, diversity and inclusion issues. Given the increasing requirement for engagement with EDI work coming from sector funders, this research will be of great interest to all heritage organisations and will provide examples of positive case studies and real, effective recommendations to improve current practices.

Take the survey which should take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete and is open until 30 September.

You will have the chance to win a one hour of consultation with Safina Islam and Maya Sharma of the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre and Education Trust, who have worked across the sector (and beyond) as audience and diversity specialists and will act as critical friends, addressing your needs and concerns, from workforce development to collections and community engagement.
