Equality & Diversity

We are committed to a practical and inclusive approach to equality, diversity and inclusion. We value diversity and place importance on safeguarding the freedom to explore and hold different ideas and exchange them in a respectful way.

Our EDI strategy operates to create an environment which allows our people to thrive and contribute their best efforts.

At the heart of Diamond are our Values and Behaviours which underpin our EDI and define how we are expected to approach our work and interactions with others.

We have a number of employee network groups who give their time and enthusiasm to helping to drive our EDI objectives:

• EDI Ambassadors - helping to be the voice of EDI around the business
• Widening Participation Group - increasing opportunities for underrepresented groups to work for us, or to visit or use Diamond as a facility
• Universal Accessibility Network - focusing on staff, users and visitors with disabilities or additional needs
• Gender Inclusion Network - working towards gender equity
• Armed Forces Covenant - working with groups to improve the employment opportunities for veterans and their families

All Diamond employees are encouraged to get involved and contribute to the constant efforts to make Diamond a great place to work. We take part in National Inclusion Week event which highlights talks and educational opportunities to learn more.

We have a published EDI policy which sets out our commitment to EDI across all areas of our organisational activities and spheres of influence ranging from our responsibilities as an employer to the experiences we provide to our extensive user community and the wider public.
