Equality, diversity and inclusion Accessibility tools Home About us Our services Get involved News Join us Contact us Home About us Equality, diversity and inclusion At Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust we are committed to ensuring equality and diversity is central to the way we deliver healthcare services and how we support our staff. We seek to improve the quality of people’s lives, in their homes and community by providing the best in integrated health and social care. We want to do that by offering care that is compassionate and personal to individuals. This means recognising and responding to their different needs and circumstances to provide care consistently to everyone. We will work together with the public and our patients to overcome barriers to delivering good care. As an employer we will give equal opportunities to our staff and value the diversity of our workforce. As an NHS Trust we also have legal duties with which we must comply. These relate to individuals who receive care from us or work for us. Very simply this means that people cannot be treated less favourably because of, for example, their race, age, gender, disability, religion or sexual orientation. We will use a process used across the NHS called the Equality Delivery System 2 to help us fulfil our duties. The work will be led by our Equality and Diversity steering group and overseen by the Board of Directors who lead the Trust. We encourage everyone to support our commitment to equality and diversity and work with us to implement the Equality Delivery System 2. Advocacy is important to NCH&C and we have appointed and trained a number of advocates and champions to help guide and support patients, members of the public and our staff.
