This week is National Inclusion Week

September 26, 2023

Founded by Inclusive Employers, National Inclusion Week is a week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workplaces.

Inclusion is critical to the workplace, and we must all work together to make equal and diverse spaces everywhere we go. This does not mean you have to know everything, but understanding what inclusivity means is a good place to start.

Here at SWB, we are always striving to become a more inclusive workplace as this means we are much more likely to see greater diversity at our Trust, fair treatment of everyone and greater equality of opportunities.

Watch this short video featuring Eddie Briones, Interim Lead Chaplain, talking about how the chaplaincy team supports equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Inclusion week event at Sandwell: On Thursday 28 September our EDI team will be hosting a special celebration event in Sandwell courtyard gardens from 11am – 3pm. Light refreshments will also be available at the event.
