Every new policy, project or event affects people differently. The Creating Inclusion Assessments module gives you a step-by-step way to check who might be helped or held back before you launch, and keeps the evidence ready for an equity audit.

July Community Support Group – July 2026
Three speakers sharing their experiences, challenges and approaches to creating better workplaces through sustainability, people-first leadership and financial wellbeing.

News & Articles
Includability News & Articles
Our news and articles section is designed to help you find information about all areas of the Includability community. We have collected articles from the experts at the forefront in developing a diverse, inclusive and sustainable world. We have news, expert articles, case studies and advice.
Inclusion rises or falls with the people at the top. The Inclusive Leadership module gives your leadership team and board clear roles, public commitments, a KPI scorecard and practical tools for everyday decisions, so inclusion is led, not just supported.
Most inclusion plans fail in the gap between the document and the day job. The Creating and Implementing a JEDI Action Plan module gives you a working action plan with named owners, a dashboard to track progress and a comms plan to keep people informed.
Policies shape how people are treated every day, often in ways nobody intended. The Reviewing and Updating Policies With a JEDI Lens module gives you a policy review process and a record of what changed, so your policies work for everyone they cover.
Everything you publish, send or host either opens the door to people or quietly closes it. The Inclusive Communications and Accessible Events module gives you an inclusive communications policy, an events checklist and a digital accessibility checklist, so more people can take part.
Data shows you what is happening. Feedback tells you why. The Gathering Worker and Stakeholder Feedback module of the JEDI Inclusion Toolkit helps you set up feedback routes people trust, write terms of reference for employee resource groups, and show people what changed because they spoke up.
