Our accreditations

In 2023, we were awarded with the Race Equality Matters Silver Trailblazer Status. Designed to recognise organisations driving meaningful change in the race equality sphere, REM Trailblazer status is determined by an independent panel of experts, all with lived experience of race inequality in the workplace. Becoming a Trailblazer means the work we have done has resulted in change and made an impact across the breadth of the entire organisation, a step that aims to successfully address racial inequality and become a more diverse, inclusive and equal organisation.

We are also a Disability Confident employer and champion having a diverse workforce that includes people with disabilities. If you have a disability and need extra support with our application process, we’d love to help you so please email us at [email protected]
