The Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust invited its staff to participate in the 'Unity Against Racism' initiative during October as part of Black History Month.

The campaign saw staff making a commitment to support anti-racism within the workplace.

The trust said it believes 'Unity Against Racism' is more than just a campaign, but a commitment to being an anti-racist organisation.

The trust said: 'By pledging against racism, we’re taking a stand to challenge discriminatory behaviours, advocate for change, and support colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

"Racism has no place in our workplace, and every pledge strengthens our joint effort to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for staff and our community.'

In exchange for making a pledge, staff members received a 'Unity Against Racism' badge, symbolising their commitment to these values.

Karla Inniss, the head of diversity and inclusion at the trust, said: "It's been uplifting talking to people about our campaign this month.

"People have shared their experiences and their commitments, to make us a great place to get care and a great place to give care.

"These conversations make me really proud to work here because they help to make inclusion a reality."

The trust is committed to being an anti-racist organisation as part of its corporate strategy.
