EDI Consultancy Services for Organisations
Through our suite of equality and diversity training courses, we have codified EDI as a field of professional and academic study.
Research-led EDI Consultancy Services
Embed equality, diversity and inclusion where it matters most, in culture, leadership and practice.
Many organisations invest in EDI, but fewer achieve meaningful, lasting change.
The challenge is rarely intent. It is structure, strategy and accountability. One-off interventions can raise awareness, but lasting inclusion requires deeper organisational change.
At the Institute for Equity, University Centre we work with organisations to identify barriers, strengthen strategy and build practical systems for sustainable inclusion.
Who We Work With
We support organisations across education, business, public services and the third sector.
Our clients include the Bank of England, the Church of England, Camden Learning, Manchester Metropolitan University and Merseyside Police.
We work with organisations that:
- Are developing or reviewing EDI strategy
- Need independent research or equity audits
- Want to strengthen organisational culture and accountability
- Are preparing for regulatory or investor scrutiny
- Need a more strategic approach to EDI
What We Do
Research and Diagnosis
Effective EDI work starts with understanding. We help organisations identify the barriers, patterns and structural challenges shaping inequality within their workplace.
Through equity audits, workforce data analysis, policy review and staff insight, we provide a clear evidence base to inform action and decision-making.
What this gives you:
• Clearer insight into your current position and stronger evidence to guide strategic decision-making.
Institutional Support
We work alongside leadership and HR teams to develop and strengthen EDI strategy, ensuring it aligns with wider organisational priorities and responsibilities.
This includes action planning, policy review, intervention design, and monitoring frameworks that help track progress, strengthen accountability and demonstrate impact.
What this gives you:
• Stronger accountability, clearer strategic direction, and a practical framework for embedding EDI across your organisation.
Capacity Development
Sustainable inclusion depends on capable people. We support leaders, managers and teams to build the confidence, knowledge and practical skills needed to embed EDI into day-to-day decisions and behaviours.
Through tailored development, facilitated workshops and leadership coaching, we help build stronger internal capability that supports long-term organisational progress.
What this gives you:
• More confident leaders, stronger internal capability, and more consistent inclusive practice across teams.
