Gender equality
At University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust we are committed to delivering equality of opportunity for all staff and service users.
The Trust has recently produced a Gender Equality Scheme (GES) and Action Plan. This is in response to the Equality Act 2006 which amends the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. It is the biggest change in sex equality legislation for over 30 years and is designed to:
- eliminate discrimination and harassment that is unlawful under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and discrimination that is unlawful under the Equal Pay Act 1970
- promote equality of opportunity between men and women
The GES is an important element in our commitment to diversity. It is a living document which will be further developed over time. Over the course of the year the Action Plan will be moved forward.
