We are firm in our commitment to be a fair and inclusive organisation and recognise that we are more successful and creative when we are diverse. Inclusion helps make decisions more effectively and ensures our policies reflect the needs of everyone in Wales.
Staff Networks with Real Influence
Our Staff Diversity Networks give under-represented groups a voice, for women, LGBTQ+ colleagues, disabled colleagues, Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority colleagues, neurodivergent colleagues and those with an interest in mental health. It’s a chance to meet others with whom you can share experiences, issues and ideas and participate in social activities.
The networks also act as an advisory body to internal policy makers and make a real difference to how we work. We also have a range of smaller staff groups and networks who offer social spaces for colleagues who share interests and experiences, provide information and support, and shape organisational decision-making.
Social Model of Disability
We follow the social model of disability. People may have impairments, health conditions, be neurodivergent, or use BSL. It is society which disables people.
Workplace Adjustments aim to remove the barriers that disable. These can be physical or non-physical adaptations and can be agreed and amended throughout the recruitment process and after joining.
Guaranteed Interview Scheme
We guarantee an interview to any disabled person or Armed Forces veteran whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post.
Changing Faces Pledge
We’ve signed the Changing Faces Pledge to be Seen, which commits us to encouraging more people with a visible difference to join our organisation.
Menopause Friendly Employer and Endometriosis Friendly Employer
The Permanent Secretary has signed the Workplace Menopause Pledge committing us to being a menopause friendly employer. We have a thriving menopause network. We are also signatories to the Endometriosis Friendly Workplace pledge.
Anti-racist Organisation
We are committed to being an Anti-racist organisation and working towards making Wales an Anti-racist nation.
