About this checklist
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) means making sure that people are not excluded or disadvantaged because of factors such as disability, age, gender, language, ethnicity, where they live, or their financial circumstances.
The EDI Self-Assessment Checklist helps patient organisations reflect on whether people can access, participate in, and benefit from their activities and services equally, and identify practical areas for improvement.
We are also grateful to the volunteers and partner organisations (LIGA, UBB, CF IF, UCA, EDS, POLA, PMC, HCS, SKCF, PanCare) who supported the translation of the checklist, helping make this resource accessible to more communities across Europe.
This publication was developed within YARN – the European Youth Cancer Network, a project co-funded by the European Union under the EU4Health Programme, with input from the Youth Cancer Council, whose lived experience and feedback helped shape this publication.
Its content and framing draw on the Recommendations for Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive Cancer Care and the EDI Train-the-Trainer Toolkit. The checklist is also aligned with the Recommendations and Implementation Roadmap for Minimum Standards of Specialist Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Care Units, ensuring coherence with broader standards for equitable, person-centred cancer care.
