Diversity and Inclusion Annual Reports 2021-22
A Parliament for all
We have made great strides towards promoting diversity and inclusion, and in ensuring these principles are at the heart of what we do as a Parliament.
However, if we have learnt anything over the past Senedd term it is that we cannot be complacent, there is still much work to be done.
We look forward to building on our achievements throughout this Sixth Senedd.

Diversity and Inclusion
Making Senedd Business inclusive
Colleagues across the organisation work innovatively to build diversity and inclusion into the work of our Parliament.
From our Committee Effectiveness Programme to increasing the diversity of research expertise, we made great progress in further making Senedd Business inclusive.
Outreach and Engagement
As a parliamentary body, it is important that the Senedd represents all of the people of Wales and that everyone has access to our work, our building and our information.
As last year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have adapted our engagement activities from face-to-face to virtual activities.
Our People
Diversity and inclusion is built into all of our people processes.
Throughout the pandemic, our teams across the Senedd Commission have continued to pull together to provide a safe, inclusive Senedd.
In turn, the wellbeing and safety of our workforce remains to be a priority.
