Public Sector Equality Duty Report

The Equality Act 2010 requires the Trust to publish information annually about its systems and processes for promoting Equality and Diversity. This page contains our first report of this 'Specific Duty' for January 2012. 

It summarises the key information we have on our workforce, our patients and the public and gives an overview of our current Equality and Diversity work across the organisation. As both our patients and staff become more diverse, we  need to ensure our care, our services and the workplace are organised sensitively. 

Key findings: 

  • Only 11% of Trust staff are under 25. 
  • Under 3% of Trust staff report a disability - though the true figure may be as high as 18%. 
  • 23% of Trust staff are from black or minority ethnic (BME) background. 
  • BME staff are under represented in higher pay bands. 
  • Just 1% of staff identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB). The national average is about 5%.

We are currently running a dedicated training sessions for members of staff in the Trust - The Equality Act for Managers. To book a place please contact Yvonne Quinn.  For more information about the course please contact Andrew May or call 0117 3423716.
