The FCA is increasingly focusing on what financial services firms should be doing to promote diversity and inclusion (D&I). We will explore recent updates from the FCA and what we are expecting to see in 2023 and beyond. We will consider a range of measures to promote D&I, referencing “real life” case studies, and the fine line between lawful positive action and unlawful positive discrimination.

This webinar will help you understand:

  • The FCA’s current position on D&I and be prepared for what might be coming down the pipeline
  • What steps you can take to promote D&I in your firm, avoiding the costly pitfalls of positive discrimination
