Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

When people feel valued, respected, and included, they can thrive. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a culture where every person – regardless of background, identity, or ability – has the opportunity to contribute, belong, and succeed.

Why this is important

A truly inclusive organisation doesn’t just recognise diversity, it embraces it as a strength. When we create equitable opportunities and foster belonging, we unlock new perspectives, strengthen our teams, and improve the way we serve our communities. A diverse and inclusive workplace isn’t just fair; it’s smarter, more innovative, and better equipped to make a real difference.

Turning commitment into action

Inclusion isn’t just a principle, it’s something we actively build into our workplace and services every day. By listening, learning, and leading with intention, we’re creating a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Here’s how we’re making it happen:

Leading by example

Change starts at the top. Our leaders are committed to modelling inclusive behaviours, making fair and informed decisions, and fostering a culture of safety, respect, and opportunity. 

By setting clear diversity targets, equipping leaders with inclusive leadership skills, and holding ourselves accountable, we ensure that every person has an equal chance to contribute and grow.

Listening, reflecting, and responding to our people

True inclusion means making sure every voice is heard. We’re creating open channels for feedback, engaging directly with those who experience barriers, and ensuring that decision-making reflects the diverse perspectives of our people and the communities we serve. 

By listening and acting on what we learn, we create a stronger, more responsive organisation.

Creating an open and transparent people-first culture

A workplace where people feel they belong is a workplace where they can do their best work. 

We’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported – whether it’s through visible recognition of cultural events, accessible spaces, or dedicated support networks. 

Inclusion isn’t just a policy; it’s how we show up every day.
