What a great start to this rainy week, we at SiH have continually raised concerns and highlighted the inaccuracies in the EDI training within NHSE over a number of years. The training is mandatory to all NHSE staff, provides the template for training across all NHS trusts and forces staff members, regardless of their understanding of the law and science to agree with the training in order to complete their annual mandatory requirements.
Worse still, it compels staff of both sexes to relinquish their single sex boundaries and those of their patients in the name of equality and equity. SiH exists to ensure that the protected characteristic of Sex and the boundaries this maintains is always considered.

We thank the media for its exposure into the internal conflict NHS staff face though we are disappointed with the inaccuracy of suggesting this EDI training is new this summer. It is not. We, the SiH NHSE members, have been raising this for years to our EDI and FTSU colleagues to no avail and on July 1st we wrote to the NHSE chair and flagged the failings within the mandatory training, and have since posted part of our communication on our website seeninhealth.org/documents/resp… (clause 1.3).

This should not have taken NHSE so long to act. This demonstrates there is currently no equality amongst protected characteristics within NHSE, and a misunderstanding of the EA10 including the Public Sector Equality Duty.
This is why NHSE, and all NHS employers, require a SiH network. We have offered our assistance to both Amanda Pritchard and Richard Meddings, we anticipate their renewed awareness may give cause for reflection on our previous communication and we look forward to engaging with them and all other staff networks.
