Investors in People Gold

 

Investors in People (IIP)

Leaders in Diversity

Our commitment to equality and inclusion is recognised through the Law Society of Scotland holding a prestigious Leaders in Diversity Award.

The accreditation from the National Centre for Diversity was granted in 2024 and built upon the Law Society’s initial award as an Investor in Diversity in 2022. It was awarded following a thorough process over a year, which included an in-depth assessment of the Law Society’s commitment to fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement (FREDIE).
