Senior Leaders Forum: Reflections on Our Anti-Racism Journey

At Great Ormond Street Hospital, we are committed to become an anti-racist organisation. This means creating a workplace where every colleague feels seen, heard and valued.

Our anti-racism statement, developed in collaboration with the REACH staff network, sets out this commitment. Our anti-racism statement is more than just words; we have backed it by action.

Racism has no place in our Trust, and we will continue to challenge discrimination, dismantle barriers, and embed equity in all aspects of our workforce. Together, we are building a culture where inclusion is not optional -it is essential.

Our Anti Racism Statement

At Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), we are committed to working toward being an anti-racist organisation, actively challenging discrimination and fostering an inclusive workplace where all colleagues feel seen, heard and valued.

We acknowledge the lived experiences of those who have faced racial microaggressions and bias, recognising the harm they cause to individuals, our culture and the standards of care we provide. Racism whether overt or covert has no place at GOSH, and we are taking decisive action through our Anti-racism action plan to provide safe spaces, embed anti-racism training, ensure fair and transparent processes, and remove barriers to career progression.

Our commitment to anti-racism is not just words but action, ensuring every colleague can thrive in an environment built on equity, respect, and accountability. We recognise that there is much work to be done, and over many years. Our commitment will be unwavering, and we will continually listen, learn, and act to create a truly anti-racist GOSH.
