Please find below/attached a summary report of Bridgewater’s performance against the Public Sector Equality Duty:
Bridgewater Community Health Care NHS Trust covers a diverse geographical area and is working to ensure that its services are both inclusive and understanding of the different needs of our communities. As a Trust we will identify how we can advance equality of opportunity in order that patients are treated respectfully and that health inequalities are reduced. The Equality Act 2010 and in particular the Public Sector Equality Duties, guide how we will concentrate our resources to ensure that individual’s are not discriminated against on the basis of Age, Disability, Gender, Gender Reassignment, Pregnancy & Maternity, Race, Religion or Belief or sexual orientation.
