We're committed to reflecting and representing the diversity of the engineering community. We are a professional home for every engineer and technician and want to include everyone whatever their background.
We're a diverse organisation and have much to be proud of, but we are also challenging ourselves to ensure that Diversity and Inclusion is hardwired into everything we do.
If we get it right, it will be evident in how we work with our members, our people and our partners.
See what we're doing to make a more equal, diverse and inclusive profession - and how you can get involved - below.

IET EDI - A year in review
As part of our continued development, we committed to publicly review our EDI activities and progress annually.
Neurodiversity Member Network
Our Neurodiversity Member Network is open to all IET members and offers peer-to-peer support for neurodiverse engineers and technicians, as well as an opportunity to share your experiences, needs and concerns with our internal EDI team. You’ll meet like-minded people and have a chance create real change for neurodiverse people in the engineering and technology communities.
If you would like to become a member or learn more about the network, please email inclusion@theiet.org.

We're a proud member of the Association For Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers
AFBE-UK promotes higher achievements in education and engineering particularly among people from black and minority ethnicity (BME) backgrounds.

We're a Disability Confident Employer
At the IET, we’re committed to drawing from the widest pool of talent available. Our Disability Confident Employer status helps us to ensure we are creating an environment where all of our colleagues can bring their whole selves to work and feel supported.

We’re a Stonewall Diversity Champion
We believe in the power of a workplace that is truly equal, which is why we’re thrilled to be a part of the Diversity Champions programme – the leading employers’ programme for ensuring all LGBT staff are accepted without exception in the workplace.
Stonewall are Europe’s largest lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) charity, so their expertise on how to encourage inclusive and accepting environments (and the insights of fellow programme members) is invaluable to us.
