Home » EDI Health Check
HDN’s EDI Health Check may be the most useful starting point for an organisation in its journey of improvement in this area of work. The Health Check will consider the status of Equality and Diversity culturally, and in regulatory, employment and service delivery terms under four key themes – Leadership & Strategic Focus, Workforce, Customer Impact, and Community Impact.
These assessment strands align with our comprehensive Diversity Network Assessment (DNA), originally developed in collaboration with HDN members in 2012. The DNA certifies organisations excelling in EDI with accreditation. However, this option does not provide an accreditation but serves as a valuable tool for assessing and improving EDI practices. The framework is regularly updated to incorporate the latest best practices in EDI.
