Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES)
From 1 April 2015 all NHS organisations are required to demonstrate how they are addressing race equality issues in a range of staffing areas. This is done through the nine point Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) metric.
The WRES Standard has been mandated in the Standard NHS Contract since 2015/16. The regulators, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHSi, will use the WRES to help assess whether NHS organisations are well led. Once approved, the results will be required to be submitted to the local Coordinating Commissioner and uploaded to NHS England.
Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES)
The Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES) has been commissioned by the Equality and Diversity Council (EDC) within NHS England. The WDES has been developed through a pilot and extensive engagement with Trusts and key stakeholders. It is mandated through the NHS Standard Contract from 1 April 2019 for NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts.
The WDES is a set of ten specific measures (metrics) that will enable NHS organisations to compare the experiences of Disabled and non-disabled staff. This information will then be used develop a local action plan. This will then enable demonstration of progress against the indicators of disability equality.
LPFT was one of 15 Trusts nationally to take part in the WDES (Workforce Disability Equality Standard) pilot in 2017 with NHS England.
