Our Programmes and Initiatives

London Core Managers Programme: Free online self-directed training for all line managers and supervisors who want to develop insight, skills and confidence to build cultures of compassion, inclusion and belonging for their diverse workforces.

EDI Innovations: In October 2022, all London Trusts and ICB-ICSs were invited to submit bids to fund EDI Innovation projects. 16 bids were approved supporting a variety of projects aligning with LWRS recommendations.

WRES Experts Programme: Training and informing individuals across London on the Workforce Race Equality Standard, to support their organisations with cultural transformation and improving equality.

London Anti-Racism Project: Founded on co-design to evolve current LWRS recommendations, support GLA objectives and deliver on the EDI Improvement Plan High Impact Actions – through an anti-racist approach.

London De-bias Recruitment Toolkit: An interactive tool launched in July 2021. Provides a structure to support users identify where bias might exist, and how it can be eliminated at each stage of the recruitment and selection process.

WRES in Primary Care: Supporting the London Primary Care Team with the development of a bespoke Workforce Race Equality Strategy modelled on the London Workforce Race Strategy, that was launched in March 2023.

Calibre Leadership Programme: A leadership programme empowering staff with disablities with methods to increase their perception of themselves as leaders and constructively challenge the norms in the workplace.

White Allies Programme: Aiding white senior leaders in developing their understanding and practice of anti-racism in leadership. Designed and developed alongside equalities and human rights charity, BRAP.

International Medical Graduates: IMG Induction Guidance sets minimum standards and provides direction on welcoming, valuing and supporting IMGs, as they transition from student status into their roles in the NHS.

Active Bystander Training: Delivered In partnership with NHSE London Equality and Inclusion Programme and The Active Bystander Training Company. The training aims to empower staff across the NHS community in London to challenge poor behaviours that may have become normalised over time, and bring about change through the reinforcement of messages defining the boundaries of unacceptable behaviour.

EDI Insights & Analytics: The Equality & Inclusion team developed an EDI dashboard which supports the analysis of the WRES, WDES and other data, to help us understand trends and identify priorities for London.  To access the EDI dashboard please contact London.RaceStrategy@nhs.net.

LWRS Evaluation: Evaluation has underpinned all the work that has been undertaken by the London Equality & Inclusion Team in its implementation of the 10-year London Workforce Race Strategy.
