Equality, diversity and inclusion

Sunderland is a fantastic, forward-looking city undergoing significant transformation and economic regeneration. It has a global reputation as a welcoming and inclusive place in which to live, work, achieve, play, and belong.

In the same way that we recognise and value the diversity of people living in the city, all staff being treated as equals, irrespective of their circumstances or background, is exceptionally important to us. We believe workplaces should be safe spaces where everyone feels valued and can be themselves, therefore, we have an inclusive and equitable approach, which is fundamental to achieving our aim.
