As a professional body, RICS has a responsibility to ensure its products and services are accessible to all members and stakeholders. Likewise, built and natural environment professionals must prioritise disability inclusion to ensure the buildings, spaces and communities being developed, renovated and repurposed are accessible to everyone.

In collaboration with our members, industry networks and experts, RICS is committed to improving disability inclusion for our employees, members and the communities we serve. We are also committed to raise awareness around mental health and foster workplace cultures that encourage open and supportive conversations.
