Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We'll be working with employers to ensure workplaces support Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

Our strength in social care is in celebrating, valuing, and recognising what makes people unique. It’s vital that our care workforce reflects the diverse population of Sheffield so we can build on this strength further.

Good equality and diversity practices ensure our services are fair and accessible to all. We aim for our practices to be inclusive. People are at the heart of what we do and are respected. We celebrate differences.

We’ll continue to develop all our practices to be accessible and inclusive. We’ll encourage positive change that supports equality.

Further information on good workplace culture and inclusive service provision will be coming soon. Let us know if you want to get involved.

Disability Confident employers are committed to ensuring that people with disabilities or long-term health conditions do not face additional barriers in recruitment – at work, when accessing training, or in progressing their careers.

We will encourage Sheffield providers to sign up to being Disability Confident. We’ll offer support and guidance to support staff.
