Diversity Teams Award
Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust’s EDI Team has transformed inclusion across the largest community healthcare provider in the South of England, embedding equity into culture, governance, workforce development and leadership accountability. Through the EDI Everyday Implementation Plan and a five‑year Action Plan, the team has shifted EDI from a standalone function to a shared organisational responsibility across 14 London boroughs and Hertfordshire. Their work spans tailored learning programmes, divisional EDI forums, bullying and harassment culture improvement, and governance of seven staff networks, strengthening employee voice and engagement. With inclusive recruitment, pay gap analysis, Equality Impact Assessments and innovative initiatives such as the EDI Book Club, the team has delivered measurable change and secured external recognition including Disability Confident Level 2 and Menopause Friendly Accreditation. CLCH’s EDI Team exemplifies collaborative, sustainable and system‑wide inclusion leadership.
