A Parliament for all
We believe that creating a respectful, diverse and inclusive workplace not only benefits our employees but also enhances our ability to better represent and engage with the people of Wales.

Diversity and Inclusion

A representative, inclusive place to work
A unique, rewarding employee experience working at the heart of democracy in Wales.
Along with making sure our workforce reflects the society that the Senedd serves, we are creating an environment where colleagues feel supported to realise their full potential.
An accessible, inclusive parliament for the people of Wales
Reaching out and hearing from communities across Wales.
We continue to make the Senedd an inclusive, accessible parliament by identifying and removing barriers that prevent citizens from participating in our work.
