Cornwall Equality and Diversity Network

Our vision is for Cornwall to be a place where equality, opportunity and fairness are available to all.

At the end of our campaign around #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion in the workplace, we have far more than we could include in the posts, so have made a Resource Sheet, which will be in the Inclusion Cornwall Resource Library, and here: https://t.co/OZLTcblKiE

Whatever your industry, there's room to improve!
Various organisations run #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion training and workshops for local businesses, supporting them to improve, including @UniExeCornwall.

What support do you have in your workplace for people who are pregnant, or returning to work after having a baby? You may need to adjust their working arrangements, or provide a safe place to breastfeed, or pump milk. See @MaternityAction for more info. #inclusion

Have you seen avatars in Microsoft Teams? There's opportunity to personalise almost infinitely: skin & hair colour, shape of face & features, cultural dress, prosthetic hands & arms, and hearing aids! Go Microsoft for increasing visible #diversity! https://t.co/g0EOsxJ4qO

Many people with disabilities are desperate to earn a living, and require small adjustments, or software, or simply an understanding of their condition. Pluss supports people with disabilities, and potential employers, to get people into employment. https://t.co/l3jTRSOmjg

#LGBTQ+ people are often the target of negative comments, or feel they need to hide who they are at work. Talk to @CornwallPride about making your workplace safe for everyone, and #inclusion training for organisations. See also @stonewalluk

There are over 22k adults with visual impairment in Cornwall, and around 20k of them have some degree of vision. There are many gadgets and electronic solutions to help them be a valued part of the workplace.
See @iSightCornwall for training and ideas. @cornwallchamber #equality

#Neurodiversity can be a superpower! #Autism, #Dyslexia, #Dyspraxia, #ADHD are under-diagnosed, but people with these conditions can bring real value to your workplace. Adapt, and learn how to manage the challenges! See https://t.co/p2pSMatuAq & https://t.co/9hb9lzWBUp @NCWeek

How should you, as an employer, navigate the ‘toilet question’ for non-binary, transitioning or trans staff?
One loo for girls and one for boys, and let people choose where to go? A unisex bathroom? See @Genderintell https://t.co/BAXC2vrVLO #equality #diversity #inclusion

1 in 5 people have some level of hearing loss. See-through face masks, good lighting, and clear speaking will be a huge help for anyone with hearing loss, whether they wear a hearing aid or not. https://t.co/Pc55AK87E8

How can you make your recruitment process more inclusive? Sharing interview questions in advance, giving advice to applicants, share the adverts in new places... See how the Cornwall Museums Partnership did it @cornwallmp https://t.co/HeE3xNYbV8 #Equality #Diversity #inclusion

There’s a big gap between not being racist and actively challenging those who are. Ensure that your workplace is welcoming to all races, not just neutral.
Talk with @BVCornwall about ‘How to be actively anti-racist’ training. https://t.co/DC9qMYUJ4Q @cornwallchamber #Equality

Appropriate support to victims of abuse & violence could mean the difference between life and death, or retaining a valued employee once they’ve weathered their storm. Find out about @WomensCCornwall training and via @Cook1Judith. @cornwallchamber #equality #diversity #inclusion

[Cornwall Equality and Diversity Network @CnwallEDNetwork]

Audits and training, from @CornwallDC, Access Cornwall or The Association of Accessible Employers (for larger organisations) can help your business explore the possibilities.
