DEI in data: Many bridges still to cross

Diversity is essential for a well-rounded, functioning data office and implementing a recruitment approach that understands intersectional diversity is the way forward.

This report examines the ways that gender, disability and ethnicity inequalities exist in data offices and what can be done to bridge the gap between representation at different levels and pay discrepancies.
