Inclusion

Inclusion is about nurturing a sense of belonging for as many people as possible. In recordkeeping, this means:

  • opening up access to the records by identifying and addressing the barriers that users and the workforce face
  • working with others to improve our records management and storytelling in a way that enables participants to bring about meaningful change
  • enriching our workforce, users, and collections through diversity of thought and experience.

Inclusive practice is about ways of working that support an inclusive service. In this Inclusion Hub, you can find a number of resources to help you.
