Derbyshire LGBT+

Rainbow Accreditation

We are increasingly called upon by small businesses and larger organisations who recognise that they need to support their LGBT+ staff and client base. As an organisation, Derbyshire LGBT+ is committed to ensuring that the experience of LGBT+ staff, volunteers, clients and service users is positive and supportive, and we are committed to working with organisations to develop their inclusive practices at all staffing levels.

To this end, Derbyshire LGBT+ has developed the ‘Rainbow Accreditation’ scheme. There are a number of ways that this scheme operates depending on the size of your organisation and these schemes plug the gaps left by similar accreditation schemes by providing face-to-face support from experienced staff who know our county.
