Our Staff Network

At Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council we are committed to creating inclusive workplace for all of our employees and service users, that values the diversity of Redcar & Cleveland and its residents. We encourage our council employees to join the staff networks, and partake in Network activities, in acknowledgement of the value the Networks can bring, not only to staff wellbeing, but to furthering our progress to becoming a truly inclusive workplace.

Staff wellbeing and sense of inclusion is essential for our success as a council, and staff networks are a fundamental part in ensuring staff, particularly those who are from communities that are underrepresented and/or tend to face increased barriers within the workplace, feel safe and supported to share their experiences, and empowered to create change. Each group is sponsored by a member of senior management.

Current staff networks include:

• Disability and Long-Term Health Conditions
• LGBTQIA +
• Racial Equality
• Parents and Carers
• Menopause and Women’s
