You make a fair point, Fact Checker. Scrutiny has certainty increased over the past year, as noted by OPBAS in its recent report earlier this year. I have tweaked the copy to clarify this and added a link to this for further reading.

AccountingWEB has always published articles beyond the usual compliance topics of IR35, AML or VAT. It's what a well curated site should do.
We accept that the articles around diversity, equality and inclusion are not the core reason many of our readers visit AccountingWEB, but as insights from our Accounting Excellence Awards demonstrate, conversations around creating a more inclusive environment in the work place is increasingly becoming part of any firm's practice strategy.

I must respond though to the point that these sort of articles should be written by a trained psychotherapist. AccountingWEB is a community. It's what makes the site great.
Across the site AccountingWEB members share their problems and challenges and also their approaches and techniques in dealing with these challenges. That is exactly what Lucy has done here.

Thanks for fact checking, FactChecker :-)
