The Royal Marsden believes in providing equity in its services, in treating people fairly with respect and dignity, and in valuing diversity, both as a health services provider and as an employer.
We believe that the people who use our services, their carers and our staff should be treated with respect and dignity. This means we will not tolerate racism, homophobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination against staff, service users or carers. We are also committed to tackling these issues and we welcome any comments you may have to help us to improve.
We welcome the spirit and direction of the NHS Constitution and will endeavour to ensure it is firmly embedded within our organisation, promoting equality and fostering good relations between people who share protected equality characteristics and those who don't.
We are very keen to involve our patients, carers, staff and members of the public in the continuing development of our work and our equality objectives. We invite you to contact us by emailing diversity@rmh.nhs.uk.
The “Positive about Disability” scheme known as the “Two Ticks” scheme was replaced by the Disability Confident Scheme. It is a voluntary scheme and there are three levels of scheme membership, graded on what an organisation can demonstrate it is doing to support people with disabilities in work.
The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust was a member of the “Two Ticks” scheme and welcomes being a member of the Disabioity Confident Scheme as an opportunity to actively demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that disabled people are treated fairly.
The Royal Marsden has been granted Level 2 – Disability Confident Employer status and we have actively committed to:
As part of our Level 2 Disability Confident Employer status we are required to demonstrate progression by undertaking a self-assessment process.
