¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

This year ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº is applying to get into leading Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) rights charity

stonewall.org.uk/get-involved/workplace/workplace-equality-index">Stonewall's Top 100 Workforce Equality Index (WEI) of inclusive employers.

"Our entry into Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index is hugely important for ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's LGBTQ+ staff members, as well as the wider ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº community. By benchmarking us against other institutions, it will allow us to reflect upon whether we are providing a supportive and positive working environment for all staff, regardless of gender or sexuality. In arguably the biggest and most diverse city in the world, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº is certainly best placed to do this and it is my hope that in the near future we will be regarded as one of the leaders in LGBT equality. " - Dr John Hurst, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council's LGBT Champion

To help our application, we welcome all ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº staff members (both LGBT and non-LGBT) to tell us what you think about working at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº on Stonewall's anonymous online questionnaire. Please can colleagues be careful to input the correct code 1666 so that the results are attributed to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº. We aim to get into the Stonewall Top 100 in the next few years and this will help us identify key areas where we can improve.

The questionnaire will close onÌýFriday 4 November 2016.
