We exist in a global, multicultural world and our membership reflects that.
STEP has a committee of Council members and staff who are dedicated to driving forward EDI improvements within the organisation.
We want all our people – members, volunteers and staff – to grow and thrive through their relationship with STEP. To make that happen we will treat people fairly and equitably. We will ensure equality of opportunity for all our people.
Above all, we will create an environment where all our people, regardless of background or personal circumstance, feel valued and included. Our guiding principles set out a framework for everyone acting for and on behalf of STEP, especially those in leadership roles (Board, Council, committee chairs and the Executive team).

STEP is a community of more than 21,000 practitioners, forming an information network enabling the sharing and exchange of knowledge and ideas. Within this, our specialist areas include seven Special Interest Groups and an Academic Community. You can also get involved with members online through our topic-based forums and social media platforms.
Volunteer support is crucial to STEP, but it can also offer real benefits to those who get involved.
You can get involved at a local, national or an international level. From joining your local branch committee to taking part in working groups and committees – there are opportunities for everyone. You can make a start by contacting your local branch chair or contact STEP. Just let us know what you have to offer, and we can go from there.
