Governance and Strategy

Our EDI strategy 

EDI is a cross cutting theme of our Vision and Strategy 2030Our Sub-strategy focuses on investing in a strong and supportive culture that will enable us to meet these aspirations, and sets out clear aims and objectives that will enable us to do so.The work of the central EDI Team is structured across three core areas: an inclusive and equitable infrastructure; diversity of representation; and a culture of belonging. 

 EDI strategic pillars

An inclusive infrastructure

We will identify, challenge and address barriers to inclusion within our policies, practices and structures, and build accountability across the organisation.

Diversity of representation

We will attract, develop and retain a diverse range of talented individuals who will be respected and valued for who they are.

A culture of belonging

We will build and sustain an inclusive working environment that will support, respect and celebrate individual differences.

EDI governance 

A robust governance structure is in place to progress the aims of our strategy, oversee compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and  maintain oversight of wider EDI initiatives to ensure they are suitably aligned.
