The Equality Delivery System (EDS22) is a framework that supports NHS organisations to make improvements on equality, diversity and inclusion for the benefit of their staff, patients and the communities they serve.
The EDS was created in 2011 but there was a requirement to grade the standard every four years. Since the refresh in 2022 of this EDS, NHS England have made it a requirement for Trusts to grade the following three domains annually.
EQUALITY DELIVERY SYSTEM 22 covers the nine protected characteristics:
We will be asking participants to score the Trust as follows:
Scoring will be conducted using Mentimeter, so please have your mobile phones on you.
As part of the consultation, evidence for grading is presented and stakeholders are asked to grade it accordingly. Any areas identified as under-developed or developing will then be supported by an action plan to help EEAST achieving better results and improve service delivery.
If you would like to participate in a different way other than Teams, we would be more than happy to post consultation papers and a scoring card upon request. Please let us know of any other alternative ways of communication to suit your needs.
The EDI Team looks forward to welcoming you to this consultation.
