Diverse Staff Network

Be heard, create change, make a difference.

The Diverse Network is a positive step for our organisation in promoting an inclusive workplace that actively celebrates its diverse community and workforce.

Our mission is to support the Council to become and employer of choice for people from the diverse communities. Diverse is a social and supportive environment open to all members of staff which represents groups from the Global majority and allies.

As part of our mission, we aim to:

• Take Positive action to demonstrate that the Council is serious about race

• Open the conversation about race equality in the organisation in a positive and constructive way

•  

  Kick start and maintain the momentum of our race equality agenda

•  

  Attract and retain talent through visible and real commitment to race equality and agenda 

• Demonstrate that uncomfortable conversations can lead to real change, taking the Council’s commitment to race beyond words

Establishing the network is a stride toward starting the conversation about race equality in the Council in a constructive and open way and demonstrating that uncomfortable conversations can lead to real change.
