Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES)
From 1 April 2015, all NHS organisations are required to demonstrate through the nine point Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) metric how they are addressing race equality issues in a range of staffing areas and develop an action plan to address any identified shortfalls, for review and monitoring through the Equality & Diversity Committee.

Equality Delivery System
The EDS is an improvement tool for patients, staff and leaders of the NHS. It supports NHS organisations in England - in active conversations with patients, public, staff, staff networks, community groups and trade unions - to review and develop their approach in addressing health inequalities through three domains: Services, Workforce and Leadership. It is driven by data, evidence, engagement and insight. You can view our EDS action plan on our equality home page.
