We survey our staff regularly, at least once every two years, specifically questioning perceptions around the council's equality policy and practice.

Support for staff and applicants

Southwark is an accredited member of the Two Ticks Disability Scheme, which is recognition by the employment service that we are meeting commitments on the recruitment, employment, retention and career development of disabled people.

We also have a disabled staff group, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff group and staff equality and diversity group to support our staff and provide a forum for change within the council.
