Merseyside Police has undergone a transformative journey towards fostering a culture of inclusion and equity. By addressing systemic issues and driving cultural change, they are creating a better present and future for both colleagues and the community. The inclusion board, chaired by an Assistant Chief Constable, includes diverse staff networks such as LGBT+, Focus on Race and Ethnicity, Gender Equality, Faith Groups, and Disability, ensuring varied perspectives shape the organisation’s inclusive culture. Initiatives include an anti-racism training programme with the Anthony Walker Foundation which is supporting them to become an anti-racist organisation, and the establishment of the Inclusion, Wellbeing, and Engagement (IWE) team, which promotes cultural change and organisational development. Merseyside Police’s commitment to inclusion and anti-racism is evident in their significant strides and strengthened community relationships.
