Our culture

We will review our training and diversity and inclusion delivery to ensure that violence against women and girls and the culture that feeds inequality is addressed at every opportunity.

We will create the right environment for cultural issues to be raised and addressed, ensuring that the individuals views are taken into account when making decisions on how to deliver services and tackle issues.

We will review and develop training products for all staff at all ranks to embed lessons learned and inform practice. We will raise awareness and enable leaders to confidently lead the conversation within their teams.

We will work with support groups and associations to promote unity of message and ensure they are confident in their role and have mechanisms in place to assess and address issues raised with them in line with cultural expectations.

We will survey our communities to seek and understand different views. We will work with different stakeholders to test our approach and measure our progress. We will share lessons and continue to enhance our culture and service.

We will continue to build confidence and empower our staff through promotion of initiatives such as White Ribbon and ‘He for She’ to raise awareness of issues that affect women and girls and empower our staff to identify and challenge behaviours that do not promote equality and inclusion.
