Diversity and Inclusion

Including improving the accessibility of our estate for all visitors, as well as collaborating with external strategic partners to help us further embed inclusion.
Values-led leadership and culture
Nurturing an inclusive workplace and parliamentary environment.
We are continuing our commitment to create an inclusive workplace, while supporting the wellbeing of our colleagues.
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.
