Scottish Environment EDI Network (SEEN) is a support/networking EDI pilot project group that derived from collaboration with CEMVO Scotland and the Nature for All project.

The aim of SEEN is to have a Scottish environment sector-wide dialogue around equality, diversity and inclusion.  We hope in sharing information, events, and areas of good practice this will support us all on our EDI journey. 

Background:

Nature for All is LINK’s EDI project which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. For further information on the project, please see LINK Campaigns: Nature for All. 

All members are committed to attending meetings and/or revising documents. We are an inclusive group and recognise that participation and contribution can be through verbalising thoughts in meetings or writing thoughts on revised documents/chain emails.
