Changing Lives is CILIP’s commitment to proactively advocate for and promote inclusive, participatory and socially-engaged library, knowledge and information services.
We are living in a time of great change, disruption and opportunity. As a mission-based organisation, we want CILIP to be a champion and agent of positive change for our profession. We are seeking to demonstrate our commitment to equality,
diversity and inclusion in all the work we do, to ensure we are representing our professional community, serving the diverse needs of our members and creating equal opportunities for participation in our work.
Our 2019 Position Paper was an important declaration of our commitments which we are putting into action in several areas through a comprehensive programme of work. Our aim is to ensure that as an organisation and as a community, we are living
our ethics and representing the values that define our profession.
