These equality objectives cover 4 years, because that is in line with the regulations. Our strategy gives us new opportunities to help reduce inequalities. Our five equality objectives are priorities and aim to help to deliver equality for: • People who use health and social care services • People working in health and social care • Health and care providers that we regulate • Our own workforce • Carers Equality Network CQC is committed to supporting staff with caring responsibilities. Within CQC, we define carers as follows: “A carer is any individual who has primary or secondary caring responsibilities for another individual, including children (under 18 years of age), relatives, family and friends” The Carers Equality Network is a staff equality network that is committed to supporting colleagues at CQC with caring responsibilities. CQC’s Diversity and Inclusion strategy has certain aims that the staff equality networks fulfil, but we also have our own network aims. The aims of the Carers Equality Network are: • To channel constructive dialogue between staff and CQC as an employer, with a specific focus on carers’ issues. • To provide access to peer support for all staff who face unpaid caring responsibilities. • To raise line manager awareness of the issues relating to work and caring responsibilities. • To support the role of others (such as line managers and HR staff) in signposting practical help and advice to enable staff to balance work and caring responsibilities.

We strive to: • improve on Accessibility, Adaptability and Attitude by challenging views and promoting more positive images and outcomes for disabled colleagues • challenge society's attitudes by running campaigns to educate and raise awareness of various conditions • advocate internal learning initiatives for our managers and staff to educate and raise awareness of conditions • influencing change to promote equality and address discrimination • provide networking events and support for colleagues • develop relationships with management and engage in partnership arrangements with relevant organisations.

LGBT+ Equality Network The Care Quality Commission LGBT+ Network is a community of colleagues that aim to understand and challenge the prejudices and discrimination faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and agender or asexual (LGBTQIA+) people. We promote awareness of matters unique to LGBTQIA+ communities, influence policies and improve outcomes for people working at CQC. This, in turn, can have a positive influence in the way in which we regulate services, with particular consideration for LGBTQIA+ people using services. We provided a safe, supportive environment for LGBTQIA+ colleagues and allies, and we amplify their collective voice, views, needs and aspirations. Race Equality Network Working strategically with CQC’s executive leadership team, we take an active role in shaping, informing and implementing our equality and human rights approach to regulation. We promote and influence race equality within CQC, aligning all of our work with our values and behaviours.
