We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the RNIB’s Visibly Better Employer Quality Standard.
We are the FIRST NHS Trust in the UK and the FIRST Health Board in Wales to be awarded this standard.
An excellent announcement to kick off the week…
🎉 Congratulations to Aneurin Bevan University Health Board – the first NHS Trust in the UK and the first Health Board in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 to achieve RNIB’s Visibly Better Employer Quality Standard! 👏
We’re absolutely delighted to recognise Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for their unwavering commitment to building a workplace where blind and partially sighted people are valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
As part of their journey to achieving the standard, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has introduced impressive in-person sight loss awareness training, available to all staff involved in supporting patients with sight loss – ensuring inclusive, empathetic care rooted in understanding.
It was especially inspiring to receive a first-hand account from an employee with sight loss, sharing their journey from gaining employment, to being supported, encouraged, and progressing in their career. This lived experience powerfully demonstrated the Visibly Better Employer quality standard in action. Thank you David sharing your journey with us!
🌟 A HUGE thank you to David Chaffey, Liz Thomas, and Lisa McLeod for their time, dedication, passion and leadership in guiding your organisation through this process. Your commitment is creating real, lasting change. 🌟
🔥 Aneurin Bevan University Health Board are true trailblazers 🔥– leading the way as the first to achieve this standard across both the NHS and Health Boards in the UK and Wales and setting a powerful example for inclusive practice for others to follow.
