People
Our values are pivotal to us, they shape our decisions and the way we live and work. We are people people. We want to have a positive impact on our people because they are our greatest asset. By supporting them, they can have a positive impact on others.
Over the last 12 months we have done a lot of work on equality and diversity. In this section we talk about the action we are taking to make sure that Bates Wells is as inclusive as possible and how we have navigated the pandemic while keeping a strong sense of our community.
