的 BSA believes that, for too long, 科学 has been the preserve of professional scientists. 我们相信科学应该对每个人开放，无论背景或经验如何.
We know t在这里 are persistent structural barriers to equality in many areas of UK society, 文化和工作, 和 we believe that transforming the diversity 和 inclusivity of 科学 can play a part in tackling them.
将平等、多样性和包容性置于我们所做一切的核心
In 2018, 咨询员工后, volunteers 和 external stakeholders we changed the 百乐博app下载’s mission to ‘transform the diversity 和 inclusivity of 科学’.
T在这里 many dimensions of diversity 和 we need to consider how different groups of people conceptualise things 和 ask questions that make sense to them. Our aim is to be able to underst和 the meanings 和 values that people use to interact with their world, 这样我们才能重新定义什么是科学, 并开始改变人们与它的关系.
还有《百乐博app下载》中受保护的特征, 我们会考虑人们生活的许多其他方面, 比如社会经济背景, 社会阶层和文化参与. We will take an intersectional approach 和 we are undertaking in-depth research to underst和 the challenges 和 opportunities for different audiences.
为我们的 愿景 结出果实, 我们需要让科学成为每个人文化的一部分, 包括那些目前参与度最低的人. We need to be able to engage with people in groups that are poorly represented in 科学, 这就是为什么EDI需要成为我们活动的中心.
This signals a change in direction for the BSA; we will strive to put equality, 多样性和包容性是我们所做一切的核心.
我们的EDI行动计划
我们已经制定了一个EDI行动计划(供内部使用), 作为一种列出详细目标和跟踪进展的方式, 并与我们的 EDI咨询小组) that sets out the BSA's commitment to EDI both in our external activities as well as what we are doing internally to improve our own 文化 和 capabilities in this area.
有些活动是我们方案的一部分, 而另一些则是我们的基础结构和政策的一部分.
BSA对我们未来三年EDI工作的三个目标是:
- Develop our staff 和 internal systems to ensure the BSA reflects the society we want to see, 发展包容性文化和政策;
- Change our programmes to increase their relevance to audiences who are traditionally under-represented in 科学 engagement activities, 和 empower people to run 科学 engagement activities for their networks 和 communities;
- Influence other organisations 和 individuals in the 科学 engagement to sector to develop 和 improve their EDI practices in capability 和 audience development to reach new audiences.
我们在很多情况下都认识到这一点, 在BSA和其他地方, EDI可以被看作是常规工作的附加部分或“修正”. 我们的EDI目标将被纳入我们的新战略(2021/22 - 2023/24), 因此，未来没有必要制定一个独立的EDI行动计划.
这项工作是由 保持卓越格兰特 we received from the Wellcome Trust to accelerate our progress in improving our diversity 和 inclusion.
Internal 和 external transformation of the scale we are hoping to achieve will not happen overnight, 和 – because our EDI goals extend to our values 和 behaviours – we will strive to be a visible leader in this area; committed to collecting, 使用和传播证据, 对我们自己的旅程开诚布公.

1)我们的员工和制度
We want the BSA to be more representative of UK society – in terms of protected characteristics, 社会经济阶层和科学身份. Our goal is for our workforce diversity to match the location(s) in which we’re based – currently, to be representative of London - 和 for all our staff to report that the BSA is an inclusive place to work.
BSA努力成为一个公平的雇主, 为许多人提供就业和志愿服务的机会. We believe that having staff 和 volunteers at all levels from a wide range of backgrounds 和 skills will help produce ideas 和 solutions that may not come from a smaller range of groups. A diverse workforce 和 volunteer pool can also help us better underst和 和 meet the needs of diverse audience groups, 从而创造活动和节目来提高我们观众的多样性.
We endeavour to provide equality 和 fairness for all our staff 和 volunteers 和 to create a working environment that promotes dignity 和 respect for all, w在这里 individual differences 和 the contributions of all staff 和 volunteers are recognised 和 valued. We regularly monitor the make-up 和 satisfaction of our staff 和 volunteers 和 will make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities.

2)我们的项目
We aim for the BSA’s programmes to be increasingly effective at engaging communities who are under-represented in 科学. 我们的目标是使受众多样化, 每项计划的年度数字, 并通过证据和评估来提高我们项目的有效性.
我们希望我们的节目具有包容性，面向不同的受众. 以下是我们如何做到这一点的一些例子:
- 的 英国科学周社区资助 和 百乐博app下载社区基金 schemes engage audiences that are underrepresented in 科学 by empowering 和 supporting community groups to run their own 科学 activities.

- 演讲者和参与者 为了思考(以前被称为赫胥黎顶峰) 包括领导人 来自商业，艺术和科学 种族和性别的多样性.
- 年复一年，我们看到完成学业的学生人数男女比例持平 佳洁士奖.
- 的 关于科学、技术、工程、数学多样性和包容性的多党议会团体 将推动与国会议员的进展.
- Our programmes are designed to be as inclusive as possible 和 are held in accessible venues.
3)影响和学习他人
我们致力于影响科学参与和其他领域, 同时也向我们的同行和该领域的最佳实践学习. 我们在过去一年所开展的活动包括:
我们也定期在我们的网站上发布关于EDI的问题 博客 -其中包括我们节目的最新消息, 从我们的内心旅程中学习, 以及来自外部贡献者的见解.
