Our core
regulatory work
• Use regulator-defined data to identify and remove barriers to fairness,
diversity and inclusion in routes to professional registration, and
communicate the range of routes already available.
• Enhance our licensing activity to ensure every professional engineering
institution can identify barriers to fairness, diversity and inclusion throughout
the professional registration journey and make appropriate changes to
support fair access and inclusive outcomes.
Partnerships
• Improve data collection, analysis, publication and shared accountability
in relation to fairness, diversity and inclusion for registrants, applicants
for professional registration and those completing recognised learning
programmes.
• Play a lead role in partnerships to nurture a culture of inclusion within the
engineering profession.
• Develop partnerships with organisations within and outside the engineering
profession who will interrogate, challenge and support our activity to build
fairness, diversity and inclusion.
Internal change
• Ensure our own governing groups are fair, diverse
and inclusive, representing our past, present and future.
How we will measure
Progress under this theme will be assessed through
evidence that fairness, diversity and inclusion
is strengthening within the regulatory system.
This requires consistent data across professional
engineering institutions to inform regulatory
prioritisation, together with reliable insight into how
people experience the system in practice.
Over time we expect to see indicators that barriers to
professional registration are reducing and participation
is becoming more equitable. These indicators may
include trends in representation among new and
existing registrants and evidence from qualitative
research from personal experience.
