Equality and Diversity Statement

The BPA is committed to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity and works to ensure that its processes are fair, transparent, objective and free from discrimination, victimisation, harassment and bullying.  It is expected that these values inform all aspects of the BPA’s work whether it is with prospective patients, candidates or colleagues and are upheld by any person representing the BPA in carrying out their duties.

We have a designated Board member who is responsible for oversight of equality and diversity matters and strive to ensure the principles of equality and diversity guide all aspects of our work.
