Equality, Diversity
& Inclusion
Inclusive & compassionate leadership
Provide innovative and inclusive ways to support
leadership and development at all levels
Promote and drive compassionate leadership to
become the normal way to behave
1
Reduce barriers to education, training and career
development
Together we will:
Years 1-2
• Ensure that diversity and inclusion is an inherent
part of our leadership programme by weaving it into
the design of individual modules – for example in the
Leadership Development Programme
• Deliver training and development in
compassionate leadership
• Promote the Stepping Up Leadership Academy
programme for BAME to develop future BAME
Leaders
• Engage more effectively with our local community
to help people from more diverse backgrounds
access development and career opportunities, eg.
apprenticeships
• Put additional support in place to support the
development of Non Executive Directors from more
diverse backgrounds and provide a talent pipeline at
Board level
• Roll out our talent management approach across
the organisation to ensure all staff who want to
progress have a talent management conversation
and an individual plan to support them in their
career journey
• We will put inclusion at the forefront of our Board
and Executive Committee development and ensure
that patient and staff stories are heard
Years 3-4
• We will make use of the advances we achieve in
years 1-2, celebrating success and use them as levers
to engage further with our workforce and
communities to inform future leadership strategy
• We will share our experiences with other Trusts /
organisations and be recognised as displaying best
practice
Measures of Impact
