What is the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Centre (EDIC)?

EDIC is a dedicated team that works to support staff and make Imperial a better place to work by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We offer guidance, training and support as part of the College’s HR services. We listen and talk to staff across Imperial and work towards mainstreaming EDI. We work with individuals, teams, and departments, providing help and advice.

Our main responsibilities include:

  • Working in collaboration to promote EDI and to eliminate all forms of discrimination
  • Influencing and advising on best practice, specifically ensuring compliance with EDI legislation and Imperial policies and procedures
  • Providing a variety of training courses for Imperial staff, as well as development programmes
  • Working with the College’s diversity staff networks, facilitating two way communication, and ensuring year-on-year progress
  • Building collaborative working relationships with appropriate community groups, professionals and sector-wide peers
