The Review's report summarises what has been learned over the past 12 months, what has been achieved already, and sets out key actions The Fund will take throughout 2021-2022 to be a more equitable funder. There was a need for evidence to support The Fund's review of its approach to diversity and inclusion and during November 2020 - February 2021 The Fund carried out Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) research. The research sought to answer three main research questions: • How do under-served grantees perceive The Fund and its role? • How do under-served grantees perceive heritage? • What could The Fund do to become more inclusive and engage with a wider range of organisations? The research looked at organisations that were working with people from under-served groups. The focus was on five characteristics; race and ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socio-economic background and young people. The outputs from the research offer a strong basis on which to start to plan in detail the changes that are needed to inform The Fund's approach to inclusion and diversity. This detailed planning has started and an initial response to the recommendations was developed in May 2021 (this will be shared with the successful bidder). The plan includes an action to conduct this second phase of the research to address two limitations of the original research; it was undertaken with grantees from the past five years and it was England only. Specifically, we want to broaden the research to include rejected and potential applicants in England as well as organisations, working in heritage led by or working with underserved groups, across the devolved administrations.
