Written by Laura Haycock of Brew People and Issy, this article looks at the rise of diversity statements in job adverts, where organisations encourage applications from underrepresented groups.

With limited evidence of their benefits, the piece argues we need to think carefully about the systemic impact, as diversity signposting could sometimes backfire or even cause harm.
