Race Network at Ministry of Defence – Navy Command

Our Mission:

Our ultimate goal is for everyone, regardless of their ethnicity or where they were born, to feel that they are welcome in MOD, to authentically contribute to the work we do and have a long thriving career in the Department. We want all staff to take responsibility to improve the Department’s reputation and position and create a truly diverse and inclusive place of work.

Our main goals are for the Network's Committee, Members and Allies to:

1. Drive improvement of the Lived Experience for staff across Defence.
2. Champion an inclusive culture where staff feel listened to, supported, and empowered throughout their career.
3. Challenge unacceptable behaviour and create opportunities to educate and highlight cultural differences and celebrate diversity.
4. Support, plan and host community engagement activities that will contribute to Defence's reputation and recruitment goals.
5. Identify, influence, and improve systems, policies and processes that create barriers for ethnic minority staff or that can be enhanced to progress the Department's position on race equality matters or representation at all levels.
