National Inclusion Week 2023: 25 September – 1 October

September 25, 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 Donna Mighty, Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion talking about equality, diversity, and inclusion and how it is everyone’s responsibility.
