THE CASE FOR RACE EQUALITY
2019
Overview
Since the inception of the NHS in 1948, race equality had never been mandated and built into contracts--until 2015, when the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) was introduced into the NHS standard contract. The standard made clear that all protected characteristics were important, but that for many years no focused attention had been paid to improving race equality in the NHS. As an organization with 18% of the workforce from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds, it was important that we looked more closely at this complex and highly sensitive issue. WRES is designed to enable BME employees to receive equal access to career opportunities and fair treatment in the workplace. That might be through job appointments, career progression, or avoiding bullying and harassment. The root of the initiative lies in the NHS constitution, which states as one of its first principles that the NHS is for all people, regardless of background.
