At Achieve together, we wholeheartedly believe that inclusivity and a diverse workforce that reflects the people we support and the communities we work within enables us to provide the best support. As the world we live in continues to evolve, we want to evolve alongside it – keeping our team members and the people we support at the forefront of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy.

It is vital that our team members feel confident to speak up and have their voices heard. With Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, continuous education is key, and we aim to foster a learning culture, where every team member is invited to join the conversation and have the opportunity to listen and be listened to. Our goal is to create and maintain an open dialogue where teams can share what diversity means to them, and support others to speak up and join the discussion.

Our ED&I Group work hard behind the scenes, in collaboration with the people we support, to raise awareness and influence positive change for our team members. Whether you’re a member of the Achieve together team, or a person we support, we recognise and celebrate everyone’s authentic self. One of our core values, #ValuingEveryone, highlights the need for equality amongst all those that work for and are supported by Achieve together.

We do, however, have more to do – we acknowledge that, as the world around us changes, we must continue to change with it, staying informed and ensuring our team members can authentically be themselves to provide the best care for the people we support. We will always strive to make Achieve together a place where everyone feels they belong.
