Wiltshire is one of the UK’s largest unitary councils, with 5,300 public servants helping residents live their best lives.
Our Mission is to:
As an Includability Committed Employer, Inclusivity is a key element of ‘Our Identity’. We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults and to the principles of inclusion and diversity in employment and the delivery of our services. Read our statement of commitment to equality and inclusion. Our Inclusive Workforce Strategy outlines our approach and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Meanwhile, staff-led networks help us shape an inclusive workplace with the support of leaders
Employee networks play a crucial role in influencing the trajectory of our organisation. They provide a platform for authentic employee voices, contribute to the implementation of our inclusion strategy, enhance overall outcomes, increase awareness, and pinpoint areas for development. These networks are inclusive, welcoming all staff members to participate.
The Armed Forces Staff network provides support to Veterans, Reservists, family members and more, and advises the organisation on how to be more inclusive. The network aims to shape the culture of the organisation and ensure a safe space for all. Its objectives include providing specialist knowledge and experience to shape policy, creating a ‘safe space’ to talk, raising awareness, organising activities and events, and recognising and sharing achievements to contribute a powerful voice for all staff.
The BME network welcomes both members and allies, offering a platform to share voices, access support, and learn from diverse experiences. Contributing to policy shaping, the network aims to provide specialist knowledge, mutual support, raise awareness on equality, organise events, celebrate achievements, address work-related issues, and foster a safe environment for networking and idea-sharing within the council.
The Carer Disability network actively supports policy development and employment issues. We are part of the government’s Disability Confident Scheme, replacing ‘two ticks.’ And our commitment is symbolised by the Disability Confident employer badge, reinforcing inclusivity in recruitment and support practices, securing us the level 2 status until October 2025.
Our LGBT+ staff network is a group that represents a confidential network for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff. It is also for anyone questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity. Open to all in the public sector, including Swindon Borough Council, schools, police, health, and fire service, the network meets regularly to provide a confidential space.
The Women’s Staff network offers mutual support and expertise to shape policies on gender equality and diversity. As a safe space, it encourages dialogue on workplace issues, challenges stereotypes, and raises awareness. The network aims to enhance the council’s understanding and support for women, organising activities, recognising achievements, and providing a collective voice. It serves as a platform to address work-related concerns and encourages networking in a secure environment.
