Diversity and Inclusion Employment Monitoring Report 2025

To support the delivery of the Inclusive workforce strategy, we have an EDI steering group, chaired by the Council's Inclusion Champion (member of our Extended Leadership Team and a Director), to provide strategic oversight for programmes of work relating to EDI. The steering group is made up of an EDI representative from each directorate at Head of Service level and the staff network leads.

The purpose of the council's Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Steering Group is to provide strategic oversight and assurance for Wiltshire Council's programmes of work relating to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. It is an opportunity to share authentic employee voice, implement the inclusion strategy, improve outcomes, raise awareness, and identify areas for development.

In 2023, all services were asked to create two inclusion targets to achieve in 2024 for their service areas that supports the Inclusion strategy. These were closely monitored and reviewed with support from the EDI Steering group and the HR&OD Inclusion working group. Over 117 actions were evidenced to support 98 EDI targets.
