Active Prospects Impact Report 2024. - Flipbook - Page 20
Inclusive
As a provider of care and support for people
with learning disabilities, mental and physical
health needs, and autistic people, inclusion
is core to our mission. This year we refreshed
our Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging
Strategy (published on our website), which
sets out our aspiration to be as fair and
inclusive an organisation as we can be.
Delivery of the strategy is overseen by our We Belong DEIB staff
group, and progress is regularly reported to our Board, and we also
publish our Equity pay gap report annually. We regularly review
our workforce profile, which has changed considerably over the last
2-3 years. We now employ 49 staff members who have a disability,
33% of our Executive Leadership Team are from Minoritised Ethnic
communities, we have a small positive gender pay gap and 20% of
our workforce are from overseas.

As a result of the latter we have set up a
working group of staff who will examine
whether we are being as inclusive as we
can be to our staff from overseas, and what
more we can do to give them a positive
experience of working for Active Prospects.
“
140 staff and people we support
came together to celebrate Black
History Month in October. Staff shared
homemade food from their cultures,
and enjoyed a performance from a
West African dance group”.
