Activities:
Equality
Like
all public bodies we are committed to the effective promotion of
equality of opportunity and good relations in all our policies and
practices. Our task then is to think equality in all aspects of
our work at whatever level we interact with people. So what are
we doing?
-
Staff and members are trained on the statutory equality duties
and on promoting good relations
-
We are included in the NHSSB's staff attitudes survey which
is seeking views on a range of staff-related issues, including
attitudes towards the nine categories
- We
are a partner in the Northern Area Equality Best Practice Forum
and meet regularly with Board and Trust colleagues to examine
the way forward and share learning
-
We are involved in the Good Practice Review 'Promoting Positive
Staff Attitudes to Diversity'. This will examine practice in
this area by engaging with representatives of the nine equality
categories in an effort to find what is best practice. Reviewing
the problems and identifying areas for improvement will help
us draw together a number of recommendations or proposals for
implementation across the HPSS
