We are proud to announce that we have achieved White Ribbon accreditation, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to ending men’s violence against women and fostering a culture of respect, safety, and equality for all.
White Ribbon accreditation is not the end of our journey - it’s the beginning of a long-term commitment.
Our ambition is to be a leading voice in promoting a culture where violence against women and girls is never tolerated and where everyone feels safe and respected.
We are committed to changing attitudes and behaviours, challenging gender inequality, and building an inclusive workplace and community.
As part of our ongoing commitment, we are developing a comprehensive programme of activities to ensure we bring this ambition to life. This will include:
- Awareness events throughout the year to mark key dates (e.g., White Ribbon Day, International Women's Day)
- Staff training and development focused on prevention, awareness, and bystander intervention
- Policy and process reviews to ensure our organisation supports those affected by gender-based violence
- Communications campaigns to engage staff, raise awareness, and promote the White Ribbon message
- Partnership working with local services and community organisations
Our White Ribbon accreditation is part of our community safety strategy, which aims to make everyday life in Lichfield District feel safer, more connected, and more supported.
