**Resources to Support Equality and Diversity in Healthcare

These resources have been compiled by Dr Kerrie Channer (Deputy Professional Lead Psychological Professions), Courtney Caris (Assistant Psychologist), supported by the library service at Leeds York Partnership Foundation. The guide is aimed at psychological professionals, although many resources may be applicable to health professionals in all sectors.

This Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) topic guide serves as a repository for shared knowledge, learning and resources to highlight systemic inequalities and advocate for meaningful social change.

Our goal is to provide resources to contribute to the ongoing development of person centered care. This includes best practice, bias free language guidance and adaptations in therapy and supervision, with a specific focus on EDI.

By collating essential information, we aim to support you in improving your clinical practice and team skills, fostering cultural competence, and developing a deeper understanding of inclusive practices. Throughout this guide the topics are organised by the protected characteristics, these are specific attributes defined by law that are safeguarded against discrimination and promote equal treatment and inclusion. Find out more about protected characteristics.
