Our staff network groups provide a safe space for our colleagues who work here to raise work-related issues that may impact them and their colleagues, and to discuss what we as an employer can do to improve their experience of working here.

The main aims of our staff network groups are to:

• provide a safe space to discuss any issues
• help to raise awareness of issues within the wider organisation
• provide support for anyone facing challenges at work
• offer a collective voice for colleagues to senior leadership

We currently have the following staff network groups in place:

• Race and Cultural Diversity
• LGBTQ+
• Religion and Belief
• Disabled Staff
• Women's Group

We also have allocated members of our Corporate Management Board (CMB) to be staff network group champions. These champions provide support and a voice at a senior level and will help advocate for progress and improvements.

All information about joining our staff groups is available on our intranet which you will have access to when you join.
