The British and Irish Region of the International Biometrics Society (IBS-BIR) embraces diversity and inclusion within our organisation, and among the wider communities with which we interact. No form of racism or discrimination has any part in the IBS-BIR — all individuals should be valued equally, and treated with the same respect, courtesy and dignity.
Statistics can play an important role in promoting a culture that reflects and promotes diversity and equality, creating a rich and inclusive society. This is a responsibility for all of us.
