Social Inclusion, Equality and Diversity
The Trust's vision is to provide high quality mental and community health care to our local communities. We aim to do this in partnership with people who use our services, their carers and families, and statutory and voluntary organisations.
To deliver this vision, we will build on the strong clinical and managerial expertise of our staff, strengthen service user and carer participation and continue to build relationships with existing partners and develop partnerships with new organisations.
We will promote social inclusion and recovery and support service users to flourish in all areas of their lives and be fully involved in the life of the community through greater access to leisure, education and work opportunities as well as access to good physical health and well-being services.
Our values of putting the service user and carer at the centre of everything we do, ensuring wider choice and promoting independence, promoting social inclusion and recovery, and recognising the contribution of our staff make, are all embodied in our values around equality, diversity and the promotion of human rights.
We will ensure equality and value diversity - through offering the right services regardless of a person’s age, race, ability to speak English, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or culture.
Ensuring our services are based on individual needs and providing a service which acknowledges and values difference.
We will work to ensure that equality, diversity and human rights are integral to all aspects of our work and that we challenge prejudice and discrimination wherever this affects our staff and service users.
