To harness this diversity, the organisational strategy is to be B.O.L.D. The D within that strand stands for “ensuring Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of everything we do.” The Trust’s Roadmap to Inclusion seeks to achieve this and includes over 20 programmes which include: community engagement a bespoke CPD accredited Cultural Intelligence programme and comprehensive training and development packages.
