CASE launched the first UK Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Survey (DEI&B) to better understand the diversity of the advancement sector and whether it truly reflects the strategic values of the institutions and the communities we serve.

In order to create a baseline for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B) data in the advancement sector in the United Kingdom, CASE took the first step by way of this survey. We expect this to be the first of many surveys over the next years. 

In this first instance, the focus of the DEI&B survey is mainly on ethnic/race diversity. We expect that future iterations would expand to include/focus on other aspects of diversity.
 

Your participation is key.

By taking part in this survey, you will help to:

• contribute to accurate and relevant data (that will ultimately lead to creating trend data) available about the sector
• help inform how CASE and member institutions can build relevant and effective programmes to increase diversity in the advancement community
• help to train advancement leaders to create better DEI&B provisions within their teams and the overall sector.

The survey will help the sector:

• better understand the current state of DEI&B in the United Kingdom,
• monitor the progression of underrepresented staff into leadership positions, and
• make strategic decisions (based on data) about the future direction of DEI&B programming within your own institution/organisation

The survey is anonymous and is being administered by way of a generic survey link. Only CASE staff working with the survey will have access to submitted data. CASE will only report aggregate level data after analysis and will not identify any individual respondent from this survey (i.e., your identity will be kept anonymous).
