At HDFT we are committed to equality and diversity so everyone is valued and recognised and we are all proud to work for HDFT. Watch the video from Wallace Sampson, Non-Executive Director at HDFT who describes his own career path and how he is committed to supporting equality and diversity at HDFT as part of our KITE (kindness, integrity, teamwork and equality) values.
At HDFT, we have seven staff network groups that employees are welcome to join at any time. They are an inclusive safe space for those people who are looking for support, friendship and understanding by meeting like-minded people.
Each network is sponsored by a director of the Trust, and all are supported by the Non-Executive Director, (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity Champion) demonstrating our commitment to the EDI agenda.
