Promoting equality and human rights in the NHS - a guide for non-executive directors of NHS boards
The Guide is aimed at all Non-Executive Directors. Its purpose is to help non-executive board members take forward the issues of equality and human rights, with regard to patients and the workforce. The Guide outlines the legislative framework and the principles that underpin equality and human rights. It demonstrates the business case for promoting and delivering equality and human rights. The Guide also includes a set of prompts for Boards to take stock of how fairly their organisations treat their patients and workforce. The ‘Vital Information’ section provides background information that supports the case for equality and human rights. Boards can use this information to help them generate their own local data to reinforce their local business cases.
