Our Trust wants to be a leading organisation for promoting equality and diversity in Hertfordshire. We believe that any modern organisation has to reflect all the communities and people it serves, in both service delivery and employment, and tackle all forms of discrimination. We need to remove inequality and ensure there are no barriers to health and wellbeing.
We believe creating a culture of equality and diversity is the responsibility of everyone in our organisation and we are striving to make this a reality. We want to be an organisation which recognises the contribution of all staff, and which is supportive, fair and free from discrimination
Equality and diversity values
Using the Equality Delivery System (EDS), we have agreed equality and diversity objectives that are underpinned by the Trust’s values:
- Include
- Respect
- Improve
You can find out more about the Trust’s values here.
Our equality and diversity objectives are:
- To improve the delivery and outcomes of our elderly, maternity and children’s and cancer services.
- To improve the quality of information/data on our patients in relation to their protected characteristics and the information we provide to them.
- Train and raise general awareness of equality, diversity and human rights issues with all staff.
- Embed equality into leadership structures across the organisation, ensuring alignment of patient/service user and workforce leadership.
Publications
Each year we also produce our equality and diversity annual report which sets out how we are meeting the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED). This report details important information which demonstrates our compliance with the PSED.

Equality impact assessments
When we are making changes to policies, services or functions in our Trust we need to complete an equality impact assessment (EIAs). This is to help us consider the impact any changes may have on different groups and what can be done to reduce discrimination and increase equality.
