Equality and diversity
Equal opportunities for all
Barts and The London is committed to eliminating discrimination and promoting diversity and equality of opportunity in all we do. It is our policy to ensure that no service user, employee or job applicant is treated less favourably on the grounds of their sex, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, social background, marital status, hours worked, responsibilities as a carer, trade union activities, unrelated criminal conviction, or blood borne virus status.
We recognise that promoting equality of opportunity and tackling inequality, discrimination and harassment are central to our vision for an open, inclusive listening organisation. This is especially important given the size and diversity of our workforce, as well as of the communities we serve.
We have several policies to help us achieve this vision, including disability and race equality schemes, with a special steering group reporting directly to the Trust board. Our policy in relation to employing people with disabilities recognises our social and moral obligation to play a significant role in providing for the employment of people with disabilities and we strive to meet and exceed our legal obligations in this regard.
The Trust’s commitment to promoting equality of opportunity is outlined in our five-year strategy document.
