Our aim

KMPT is committed to developing a culture which values both its staff and service users/patients and to have processes and systems in place which proactively promotes inclusion and equality for all and embraces diversity. We believe in empowering individuals to take ownership of their responsibilities for creating a fair, open and transparent culture free from bullying, harassment and discrimination.

Our aim is to integrate equality, diversity and inclusion into everything we do, so it becomes embedded as a natural part of everyday practice. We aim to be a leading mental health service provider for its work with staff, service users/patients and partners.

• Aim to have a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve
• Promote the diversity of talent within KMPT so that the staff fulfil their potential and access opportunities
• Engage with and respond to our different stakeholders interests and needs
• Involve those who use our services in the design and delivery of their care
• Take every opportunity to advance equality, diversity and inclusion in the design, delivery and review of all our functions, policies and practices.
