"Quick wins" for Charter signatories

Women in IP's annual event this year is focusing on "quick wins" for IP Inclusive Charter signatories. What can you do at your organisation to improve D&I? How can you build a more inclusive and supportive workplace? We'll be exploring these and similar questions alongside our expert panellists, generating practical tips and ideas to help both small and large organisations support their employees and improve D&I.

The event will also be accompanied by a survey and the outcomes will be collated into a template for IP Inclusive Charter signatories to identify quick wins in terms of, for instance, internal policies, staff activities, networks to join, relevant external charters, and lots more.

This event is being kindly hosted by Abel + Imray.

• Jane Burton, Chair of the Lawyers with Disabilities Division of the Law Society of England and Wales
