For Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care Trust promoting equality, inclusion and human rights is integral to our values and delivery of our services. We are fully committed to providing high quality services to everyone, irrespective of the gender individuals identify as, their ethnicity, those with or without disabilities, ages, sexual orientation, and those with or without caring responsibilities. At Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care we will continue to strive to create an employment environment that is inclusive and supportive for all staff and to promote a health services’ culture in which: Diversity is valued and respected – an approach that embraces both visible and non-visible differences, where there are fair access and fair outcomes for all. Differences are recognised and fully utilised in delivering excellent services. The community works together effectively in an atmosphere of trust, harmony and respect Discrimination and prejudice are challenged and every individual feels valued. Both direct and indirect discrimination (associative, perceptive), harassment and victimisation will not be tolerated. We recognise our responsibility to achieve the highest standards in equality and inclusion, and to be a proactive agent for change. We will continue to take every opportunity to strengthen our approach to equality and diversity in the design, delivery and review of all of our functions, policies and practices.
