Equality & Diversity

Diversity, equality and inclusion are key to how we work here at Halton Haven Hospice.

We value the backgrounds, experiences and strengths of staff, volunteers, patients and visitors in enabling us to provide exceptional care.

Equality and Diversity Statement:

Halton Haven Hospice is fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity.

The Hospice understands that equality is not about treating everyone the same; it is about ensuring that accessible opportunities are available to everyone, taking into account their differing needs and capabilities. Halton Haven therefore believes in providing equity of opportunity, in treating people fairly with respect and dignity and in valuing diversity both as a health service provider and as an employer.

Halton Haven Hospice is committed to eliminating discrimination on the basis of;

• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage/civil partnership status
• Pregnancy/maternity status
• Race
• Religion/belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation

In law, these are called protected characteristics; the Hospice actively fosters good relations between people who share these characteristics and people who do not.

Put simply, Halton Haven Hospice will provide services and opportunities to everyone irrespective of the presence or absence of a protected characteristic.
