Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)
We believe that EDI should be at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate that everyone should have fair and equal access to services and opportunities so that they can play a positive role in their community. We are committed to making sure our policies reflect the diverse communities we serve.

Equality Champions
We have a staff network dedicated to creating an inclusive workforce where people can perform better because they can be themselves. This network is made up of passionate staff volunteers - they are our Equality Champions.
Our Equality Champions staff network is divided into four sub-groups, so that we can ensure issues across all equality strands are given fair and equal consideration. The four groups are:
- race, religion and belief
- disability and mental health
- LGBT+
- age and gender
- Equality in employment
