Public Sector Equality Duty

Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At Pinnacle Care Professionals Ltd, we are proud to uphold the principles of the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. This duty requires public bodies and those carrying out public functions to have due regard to the need to:
• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
• Foster good relations between different people
As a care provider serving diverse communities, we recognise the importance of embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in all aspects of our work — not just as a legal obligation, but as a core value.
Our Responsibilities and Actions
To meet and continually improve on our responsibilities under the PSED, Pinnacle Care Professionals Ltd is actively working to:
• Widen Access to Employment
We advertise roles across a range of platforms — including online job boards, local colleges, and Job Centres — to attract candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. This helps us to build a workforce that is more reflective of the communities we serve.
• Promote Workforce Diversity
We are committed to ensuring that our staffing reflects the rich demographic makeup of our clients. We proactively seek to employ individuals from underrepresented groups and value the unique perspectives they bring to our team.
• Be a Disability-Friendly Employer
We welcome applications from people with disabilities and strive to ensure our recruitment processes and working environments are inclusive and accessible to all.
• Strengthen EDI Training and Policy
Our equality and diversity policies are regularly reviewed to reflect best practices and current legislation. We also ensure that all staff receive up-to-date training to promote inclusive behaviours and attitudes in the workplace.
• Invest in Human Resources Expertise
As part of our growing commitment to equality and diversity, we are investing in dedicated HR support to guide and strengthen our EDI strategy, helping us to implement fair recruitment practices and support staff development.
Our Ongoing Commitment
We understand that achieving true equality and inclusion is an ongoing process. At Pinnacle Care Professionals Ltd, we are committed to continuous improvement and accountability in everything we do. We will continue to listen, learn, and adapt our practices to better serve both our staff and the communities we support.
