Welcome to Mid Essex Hospital Services Trust equality and diversity information pages
This part of the website is reviewed as needed, so that we can provide people with up to date information about the Trust’s equality and diversity plans and actions.
These plans and actions will provide detail on how the Trust is meeting all legislative requirements and how it is consulting and involving staff and community groups. Some current examples of good practice are:
-
Providing all staff with diversity awareness workshops – so the needs of different people can be recognised, valued and supported.
-
There is a hospital-wide equality and diversity group that meets monthly and identifies issues and advises on changes.
-
A programme of activity is running, that marks the significance of landmark events and cultural celebrations in the calendar.
-
Community engagement is a key area of action for the hospital and the equality and diversity group help ensure that services are inclusive of all and that there no barriers for any group protected by equality legislation.
-
The Trust is a regular participant in County and Borough forums and events to do with different forms of diversity eg Essex County Council disability forums; black history month events, etc
-
Public duty requirements are being met and the Department of Health’s EDS (Equality Delivery System) is in use to help report and direct activities to build inclusion.
