EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND THE SGD

The SGD aims to be an inclusive Society to any Professional Garden Designer wanting to join and progress their career. Adherence to the Equality Act 2010 is taken seriously and is part of the SGD Code of Professional Conduct. Breaches or complaints of discrimination against the 9 Protected Characteristics are taken seriously. The SGD are taking action to review how accessible both the Society and the garden design industry as a whole are to all individuals. This includes a member survey, discussing with Educators accessibility to courses and career progression, and looking into how socially entrenched attitudes may create barriers to participation.
