The programme has supported over 300 organisations over the last decade to progress their equality performance and build an inclusive culture in the workplace over a period of 12 months. It is closely aligned to the Equality Delivery System (EDS2), NHS Long Term Plan and NHS People Plan.
The programme is delivered across four modules - standards, capacity, delivery and evaluation. It provides partners with detailed strategic policy support, the opportunity to undertake personal development and a forum to share good practice and network with fellow colleagues in the NHS, and other diversity and inclusion subject matter experts. The modules are held quarterly in the form of a one day event which bring together diversity and inclusion partners from across the country.
