CASES Diversity Data monitoring 2025

15th May 2025

At the point of joining CASES, and again during annual membership renewals, members are asked to complete a short diversity data form. This form captures information on protected characteristics, with an option to select ‘prefer not to say’. All data is stored securely and anonymously. Collecting this information is vital for promoting an inclusive environment and gaining a clearer understanding of the diversity within our membership. Following the release of our initial diversity infographic in 2024, we are now able to compare data year-on-year. For example, in 2025 we observed a slight decrease in total membership, primarily due to a decline in student members. Encouragingly, the number of unanswered questions has decreased, suggesting increased confidence in the confidentiality of the survey and a growing openness among CASES members.

Please see here for an analysis of the 2025 data. The 2024 data can be found here.

Dr Laura Johnson MCASES (Laura.Johnson@edgehill.ac.uk) and Dr Richard Buscombe MCASES (R.M.Buscombe@uel.ac.uk) from the EDI Advisory Group said, “The data from this year's survey has been the subject of discussion within our EDI AG and we have reflected some trends in the data back to the CASES Board. Having a better understanding of our CASES members and knowing how our membership is changing over time is insightful and helps us to focus our work to continue to build an open and inclusive Association."
