Workforce Equality Data Standards

We oversee and maintain two national workforce equality data collections promote equality of career opportunities and fairer treatment in the workplace.

Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES)

The Workforce Race Equality Standard aims to ensure employees from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds have equal access to career opportunities and receive fair treatment in the workplace. It requires the Trust to demonstrate progress against nine standard indicators specifically focused at race equality through the collection, analysis and use of workforce data to address any underrepresentation, poor treatment or unequal opportunities.

Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES)

The NHS Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES) is a set of specific measures (metrics) that enables us to compare the experiences of disabled and non-disabled staff. It supports positive change for existing employees, and enables a more inclusive environment for our employees.
