Our commitment to inclusion

At NCHA, we're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome, valued and able to succeed.

That's why we've updated our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy for 2026-2031. Developed in line with our wider strategic framework, the strategy places a stronger emphasis on colleague experience and sets out how we'll continue building an inclusive workplace over the next five years.

The strategy focuses on five key areas and introduces new targets that will help us measure progress and ensure we're delivering meaningful change.

Our five priorities are:

Apprenticeships: Making apprenticeships more accessible and creating fair opportunities for people to start or develop their careers with NCHA.

Talent management: Helping all colleagues access learning and development opportunities, progress their careers and reach their potential.

Inclusive culture: Building a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and confident to speak up about discrimination or unfair treatment.

Support for colleagues: Improving wellbeing support, workplace adjustments and policies to meet the different needs of our colleagues.

Colleague engagement and satisfaction: Listening to feedback, acting on what we hear and creating a workplace where people feel engaged, motivated and included.
