We’re pleased to announce that this year’s Annual Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Conference will take place on Monday 28th July 2025.
The conference is a key part of the DClinPsy calendar and attendance is compulsory for all trainees. Alongside our keynote speaker, Professor Margo Onanaiye, who will deliver a talk on ‘Developing a Cultural Narrative in Supervision’, we’re excited to offer several new opportunities for you to contribute to the day.
Sign Up to Attend
Whether you’re attending, submitting a poster, or nominating someone for an EDI prize, please complete the sign-up form here:
[https://forms.office.com/e/V4QQxXZRQd]
This form will also allow you to register your interest in taking part in any of the three initiatives below.
1. EDI in Action – Open Poster Session
We’re reintroducing our open poster session following its success last year. This is an opportunity to share any work, projects, or reflections related to EDI in areas such as research, clinical practice, teaching, service development, or community involvement.
You don’t need a finished project or a polished poster, the aim is to share ideas, inspire others, and start conversations. Posters can be submitted by trainees, students, assistants, or qualified professionals. Full guidelines will be sent to those who express interest via the sign-up form.
2. EDI Recognition Prizes
We’re launching an EDI Recognition Prize to highlight individuals who have made exceptional contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion within clinical psychology.
You can nominate yourself or someone else (with their consent). Submissions will take the form of a short poster, which will be displayed at the conference. A poster template and further guidance will be provided after nomination.
You can access the nomination form directly here:

3. LGBTQ+ Anonymous Question Box
We know that people often have questions about LGBTQ+ topics but may not feel confident asking them in public. To help shape inclusive and meaningful discussions during the conference, we’re inviting anonymous questions in advance.
These will be used to inform content and discussion points on the day.
Submit your anonymous question here:

Further information about the programme will follow soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact the EDI Sub-Committee.
We’re really looking forward to seeing you there!
