Episode 12 (S8). The Statements Episode: Agree or Disagree?

In this episode, we open up a conversation around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) by responding to a series of thought-provoking statements and questions. Rather than offering simple answers, we explore where we agree, where we disagree, and —most importantly — why.

Through honest discussion and reflection, we unpack common assumptions, tensions, and misconceptions around EDI. We consider how language, policy, lived experience, and organisational culture shape the way EDI is understood and practiced, and where good intentions can sometimes miss the mark.

This episode invites listeners into the nuance behind the headlines, recognising that EDI is not just a checklist or a debate topic, but an evolving commitment that affects real people and real outcomes. We challenge each other’s viewpoints, share practical insights, and reflect on what meaningful inclusion can look like in action.

Expect thoughtful dialogue and space to think more deeply about your own position.

Tune in, reflect, and join the conversation.
