Under the Equality Act (2010), public authorities are required to tackle discrimination and promote equal opportunities. Within the Act the “specific duty regulations” specify that a listed authority must publish Equality information in a manner which is accessible to the public.
Workforce Race Equality Standard report
A Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) report has been published by NHS England and is mandatory. It came into force on 1 April 2015. The Standard requires every NHS organisation to publish workforce data showing the experience of BME staff compared to White staff in terms of recruitment and selection, promotion, and retention. It also requires us to publish data based on the staff survey in relation to bullying and harassment of BME staff and White Staff, and also whether the Board’s membership is ‘broadly representative of the population they service’.

Workforce Sexual Orientation Equality Standard report
KCHFT has pioneered a Workforce Sexually Orientation Equality Standard (WSOES) report over the past two years (2021/22 and 2022/23). While this is not a mandated report from NHS England, it is in keeping with our ambition to be a great place to work and delivering on our Nobody Left Behind strategy. The standard follows the same theme as the WRES and WDES in publishing workforce data showing the experience of LGBTQ+ staff in terms of recruitment and selection, promotion and retention. It also publishes data based on the national staff survey in relation to bullying and harassment of LGBTQ+ staff and whether the Board’s membership is broadly representative of the population they serve.
