Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Equality, to us, means fair treatment and equal opportunities. We do not tolerate discrimination. We try to make sure that all our staff have equal opportunities for progression in their careers. We also try to make sure there are no unnecessary barriers in our recruitment process.

Dudley Integrated Health and Care NHS Trust is committed to promoting equality of opportunity; celebrating and valuing diversity; eliminating unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation, including cyber or e-bullying and harassment; and promoting good relations.

We are committed to achieving equality for all by reducing discrimination in employment and service delivery on the grounds of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation or socio-economic background.

“Everyone is different and unless employers take diversity seriously they will fail to recruit, retain and engage the commitment of the talent needed to sustain and improve performance.”

Disability confident employer

We aim to be a disability confident employer. We are committed to supporting staff who have a disability or become disabled during the course of their employment and encourage applications from disabled people. We guarantee an interview to those who meet the minimum criteria of the role and make adjustments for applicants with disabilities.

We also commit to:

• Discussing at any time, but at least once a year, what can be done to make sure you can develop and use your abilities.
• When employees become disabled, making every effort to ensure they stay in employment.
• Taking action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work.
• Reviewing our commitments and what has been achieved each year and planning ways to improve.
