Anti-racist Statement
Racism must be acknowledged to be transformed.
At The Dudley Group, we are committed to ensuring that all colleagues, patients and visitors are respected and included in decisions that affect them. We want our staff to feel safe and confident being themselves at work and to develop their skills as part of a great team.
We recognise that embracing our diverse cultures and perspectives strengthens collaboration and enhances the quality of care we provide, as well as the diversity of thought, approach and culture delivered by staff from diverse backgrounds.
Anti-racism means actively identifying and opposing racism. It is rooted in action. It is not enough to be “non-racist.” We must un-apologetically and purposefully tackle structural and personalised racism and its impact on our organisation and people.
On our journey to become an anti-racist organisation, we have had a series of open, honest, and challenging discussions at all levels, which have led to the production of an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategic Journey. We have also signed up to the National RACE Equality Code.
We are all responsible for eliminating all forms of racism; we must challenge ourselves and challenge others with care and compassion. We need to ensure our behaviours are shaped by living our values of care, respect and responsibility.
