Equity, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to creating an organisational culture that is diverse and inclusive; and empowers every individual to reach their full potential, providing an equitable experience for all. Our strategy outlines the starting point for our journey and what we want to achieve.

Our Strategy 2022 - 2025

The strategy sets out our ambition for The Children’s Trust to become an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation, where everyone feels like they truly belong.

Our ambition at The Children’s Trust is for all children and young people with brain injury and neurodisability to live the best life possible. To help enable this ambition, we want to create an environment where differences are embraced, and you can be yourself without fear; which is why equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) has to be at the heart of everything we do. Our first strategy outlines the 4 goals which will shape our work.

We know written words aren’t accessible for everyone, and therefore considered how to make this accessible. If you would prefer to listen to this being read it is compatible with the narrator feature available on most PC’s/Laptops.

Our commitment

  • We work towards ACEVO’s ‘Eight principles to address the diversity deficit in charity leadership’ framework. 
  • We have an established EDI working group called ‘Spark’. Spark is a voluntary, employee-led group that is open to all. Our group supports The Children's Trust to drive the EDI agenda, encourage an inclusive workplace and celebrate diversity. Members of the Senior Leadership Team are directly involved.
  • We review and update our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion policy regularly. Our policy is reflective of our proactive stance against discrimination and our ambitions for building a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment. Read our EDI Policy
