Inclusive communications

Inclusive communications require a clear strategy that is grounded in a knowledge and understanding of the needs of diverse audiences.

Through our equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) communications work, we support a range of work with diverse audiences, including via the NHS Confederation's Women Leaders Network, BME Leadership Network and our LGBTQ+ Leaders Network.  

HealthCommsPlus takes that on a step further to provide more bespoke support to organisations in the communications space. We can work with you to help your organisation:

• Connect with communities and develop authentic messaging on sensitive issues.
• Sell the vision around EDI, grounding the work in your organisation's purpose and values, being clear on the 'why'.
• Develop your strategic internal communications, in line with organisational values, to promote equality and inclusion for all. 
• Address myths and misconceptions around EDI issues, and help you create the space to have honest, constructive organisational discussions.
• Link the EDI agenda to the wider external context.
• Review your communications through an anti-racism lens.

We can support in-house teams through training and development, or work with you on specific programmes or pieces of work.

We’re at our best when we work as an extension of your team and can take a lead or supporting role depending on your in-house capacity and expertise.
