Identity Matters
Camden has been working towards a more inclusive environment, providing a support structure for LGBTQ+ staff and staff employed by other agencies.
The Rainbow Network on Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) is a community for all self-defining lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, non-binary, intersex, asexual, pansexual staff.
It is open to all staff in the community, including marginalised and underrepresented LGBTQ+ groups.
It provides a safe space and peer support network for staff, and acts as a point of contact for LGBTQ+ staff.
On the network, LGBTQ+ staff can talk about and express their feelings and share celebrational posts. The network also provides insightful news, and publicises seminars.
There is also the Employee Assistance Programme which offers an even broader range of support, it is a free, independent and confidential service.
