Workforce Race Equality Standards (WDES)

What is the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES)?

The NHS Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) was introduced to ensure employees from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds have equal access to career opportunities and receive fair treatment in the workplace.

The WRES is a standard comprising nine indicators that all NHS Trusts need to assess themselves against.

This is on the basis that NHS England has determined a link through staff and patient surveys between the treatment experienced by BME staff and patient experience.
