The RCVS is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across the veterinary profession. We want everyone - from students to experienced professionals - to feel respected, supported, and able to thrive.
Our Diversity and Inclusion Team works to improve recruitment and retention, widen access, and encourage culture change. Key initiatives include disability and chronic illness surveys, guidance on religious clothing in veterinary workplaces, and celebrating key occasions such as Black History Month and Pride.
As an organisation, we are committed to leading by example. We actively embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into our own workplace through internal initiatives, policies, and training, ensuring our values are reflected not only in what we promote across the profession, but in how we operate as an employer.
