Diversity & Inclusion
In an organisation as diverse as the NHS, the ability of staff to treat colleagues and patients with respect, dignity and equality are fundamental to a Trust’s success.
Our programme promotes an understanding of current legislation, then in a powerful and thought-provoking session we challenge you to think differently and consider the contribution we can all make to a culture where people feel recognised, respected and valued.
Using theatre, film, personal testimony and facilitated discussion we bring your Trust values to life and empower your colleagues to challenge their own and others’ behaviours and attitudes where they fall short of exemplary standards.
Objectives
- To show that inclusivity is not only about legal compliance, there is also a business and moral case for engendering a culture where people are treated equally and respectfully
- To create a culture where difference is embraced
- To challenge negative or limiting preconceptions and unconscious bias
- To demonstrate how individual attitudes dictate positive or negative behaviour and the powerful impact this can have
- To show the impact that the culture of a Trust has on our colleagues, patients, and their friends & family
