The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) field in the creative industries is focused on creating inclusive, fair, and representative environments where everyone can thrive. Roles in this area involve developing strategies, policies, and training to address underrepresentation and discrimination. Professionals in DE&I help ensure that workplaces and creative outputs reflect the diversity of society, from inclusive hiring practices to accessible content and campaigns, guiding organisations to become more welcoming and equitable.
Careers in DE&I combine communication, leadership, research, and cultural awareness. Entry-level roles like DE&I Coordinators or Trainers often support senior staff (such as Head of Access and Equity, Director of Culture or Chief Diversity Officer), in delivering impactful programmes and advocating for change across teams. As DE&I becomes more essential in fashion, media, and design, skilled professionals are helping shape industries that are not only more diverse, but also more innovative and representative of the world around them.
