One of our core values is a commitment to social inclusion which we can’t achieve unless we embrace, reflect and celebrate the diversity of the communities we serve.
There are a number of legal requirements on us to ensure the positive application of equalities legislation. However, our ambition is one of excellence not simply compliance. We’re committed to promoting equality and diversity in all aspects of what we do and have been recognised for this with an Investors in Diversity accreditation.
To achieve this, we treat everyone who works or volunteers for us as individuals with unique sets of skills and experiences to be positively harnessed and developed. This is regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, social background, religion and/or belief.
In our recruitment processes, these protected characteristics are routinely monitored and we regularly review our selection criteria and procedures to ensure that individuals are employed and treated on their relevant merit and abilities. Equality and diversity also form a core part of our induction and mandatory training.
As a mental health charity, we’re committed to promoting good mental health in the work place and providing people with lived experience of mental health problems opportunities to train and work with us through volunteering, becoming a peer supporter and securing paid roles.
We’re therefore a proud signatory of the Mindful Employers initiative.
