Equality and diversity
"Equality is about creating a fairer society in which everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Diversity is about recognising and valuing difference in its broadest sense". (NHS Employers)
Our commitment to equality and diversity
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust recognises that everyone is different, and values the unique contribution that individual experiences, knowledge and skills make in delivering quality healthcare and becoming a model employer.
We are committed to transforming our organisational culture by actively committing to implementing the Equality Delivery System. We will continue to promote equality and challenge discrimination in all service provision, recognising and meeting the needs of the diverse communities we serve.
We will strive to provide an environment in which people want to work and to be a model employer, leading in good employment practice. We are also committed to enabling each member of staff to achieve their full potential in an environment characterised by dignity and mutual respect.
We will not tolerate unlawful discrimination, victimisation, bullying or harassment based on race, ethnic or national origin, nationality, age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, religion or belief, HIV status, marital status or caring responsibilities. Any action found to be in breach of any of these will be addressed in accordance with the Trust’s policies and procedures.
