Healthwatch BNSSG's Equality, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (EDEI) policy

Report - 5 December 2023

In carrying out our functions as a statutory organisation we promise to ensure that the values of equality, diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded into everything we do. We are committed to creating the right culture, skills and priorities to ensure that no individual is discriminated against in the planning and delivery of any of our activities.

This policy applies to all Directors, staff, members, apprentice or freelance workers and volunteers of Healthwatch Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

Our organisation's recruitment, selection, and support practices, our communications and engagement processes ensure equal access and the promotion of equality of opportunity.

This policy clarifies our commitment and practice around eliminating discrimination and encouraging and valuing diversity among staff, volunteers, trustees, freelancers, collaborating partners, members of the public and other stakeholders.
