Abstract
Diversity within the acoustic profession in the UK is gradually widening in general, but there is still a significant need for improvement in terms of inclusion, diversity and equality. In order to address this need the UK Institute of Acoustics (IOA) has recently established a working group to examine the current situation within the Institute and within the wider profession in the UK. This paper will provide a summary of the current membership demographics of the IOA to provide a benchmark for improvement. Examples of successful initiatives from other national acoustical societies will be provided and ideas for improving the numbers and experience of underrepresented people in the IOA will be discussed.
