Diversity Policies

As a Trust we are focusing on diversity and equality within our workforce because with a diverse workforce the Trust will be able to pull together the knowledge and experiences of many people to improve the care it gives its patients and the working environment it provides to staff.
The Trust supports equality of opportunity and celebrates diversity. It is committed to promoting equality and eliminating unlawful discrimination.
The Trust is committed to ensuring that its services are accessible to all and recognises the need for a diverse workforce that is capable of understanding the needs and culture of its customers and staff.
The Trust is committed to providing equality of access to services for patients, based on their needs and will support and value its staff regardless of disability, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, sex and age.
