Stakeholders, "have your say”, on how we are doing on Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement.

As part of Healthwatch Rochdale’s ongoing commitment towards maintaining and developing a working environment that is welcoming to people from all backgrounds and abilities, we have recently embarked on a journey with the National Centre for Diversity that will lead us to achieving the Investors in Diversity for Small Charities Award.

By embarking on this journey we will be able to engage with staff across all our divisions and enable you to “have your say”, on how we are doing in terms of FREDIE: Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement. 

The Investors in Diversity Award is a nationally recognised award that we previously were awarded in 2022 and has been achieved by organisations across all sectors including housing organisations, construction, and engineering; as well as other sectors such as education and charities. Through the Investors in Diversity programme, organisations have been able to develop working environments that are inclusive, transparent and enhance how they communicate with a diverse range of people. 

As part of our journey we will be asking you to take part in the Investors in Diversity for Small Charities survey FREDIE SURVEY. Please do take the opportunity to complete the survey, have your say and give us a solid starting point to take this programme forward. 

Should you have any questions please contact Kate Jones, CEO Healthwatch Rochdale (kate.jones@healthwatchrochdale.org.uk).
