An inclusive workplace

We focus on creating a sense of belonging and providing practical support for all members of staff through:

  • Measuring our progress through the Equality Framework for Local Government (EFLG), to ensure we meet our commitments
  • Listening to our employees via surveys, forums and networks to continuously improve
  • Not tolerating discrimination or harassment by managing complaints in a structured, unbiased and timely manner
  • Delivering equality, diversity, and inclusion training to embed positive behaviours in the workplace
  • Sponsoring the Supporting Employee Equality Network (SEEN), giving employees a voice
  • Providing guidance documents and policies to support equality and inclusion throughout the employment cycle
  • Providing a dedicated inclusion and belonging space on our staff intranet to share information and views
  • Promoting awareness of national events, such as International Womens Day
