This tool is designed to help you embed your initiatives aimed at fostering belonging and fairness, with a clear focus on our essential role in serving everyone. It is crucial that we create a sense of belonging for all individuals, recognizing that genuine belonging enables people to be their authentic selves.

As Brené Brown wisely states, “Fitting in is a betrayal of self,” as it requires changing who you are to conform. In contrast, belonging means embracing your true identity. We invite you to use this self-assessment tool within your agency or organization to cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued and included.
