Lucy Hastings, director and LGBT senior champion
of independent charity Victim Support, said:
‘Reaching Stonewall’s top 15 employers in the
Workplace Equality Index is a fantastic result for
Victim Support and recognition of everything we do
to make sure the charity has an inclusive workforce.
‘Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of
Victim Support to ensure that all victims of crime
– regardless of, for example, their gender identity or
sexual orientation – get the support and help they
deserve following crime. ‘
‘Within the past 12 months we have provided staff
training to promote awareness of LGBT issues and
enhanced our policy and practice to support victims
of hate crime among a range of other measures.
We also continue to have a LGBT network to give
advice and support, and address any issues facing our
staff and volunteers who are lesbian, gay, bisexual
or trans.’
Raymond Ciborowski, Registrar and Chief
Operating Officer of Swansea University, said:
‘We’re delighted to have made such a significant
leap in this year’s Stonewall Index. This new
ranking is further recognition of the thriving,
diverse campus environment at Swansea that makes
it such a great place to work and study’.
Karin Cook, Group Director of Operations, Lloyds
Banking Group and Group Executive Sponsor
for sexual orientation and gender identity said:
‘It is a great honour for me to have been named
Stonewall’s Senior Sponsor of the Year 2016. My
role as Lloyds Banking Group’s Executive Sponsor
for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity is
incredibly rewarding and I am ably supported
by an extremely proactive group of colleagues. I
am personally committed to helping our LGBT
colleagues be more comfortable and confident in
bringing their whole selves to work, and want to
ensure that Lloyds Banking Group is seen as an
employer of choice for the LGBT community. As
part of our Helping Britain Prosper Plan, we have
set a public goal around increasing the engagement
levels of LGBT colleagues, and are committed to
making it happen.’
