Staff networks

The staff networks are open to staff, councillors and partners that share similar characteristics, life experiences, values and beliefs.
Staff Networks

We have various staff groups that support people who share similar identities and experiences. These groups, called staff networks, are open to anyone who wants to support their goals.

Our staff networks help members in many ways - they provide a place to talk, learn from each other and get support. The networks also work to promote diversity and highlight how people from different backgrounds contribute positively to Suffolk.

The networks try to make the organisation more inclusive by influencing policies, services, training, communications, events, and culture. They have representation on Suffolk County Council's Strategic Equality and Inclusion Board.

All networks proactively engage and embrace the Suffolk County Council WE ASPIRE values and framework.

Suffolk County Council’s Staff Networks make an invaluable contribution to furthering a culture of inclusion within the organisation. Watch this video to find out more about the Networks and the work they do.

Councillor Bobby Bennett, Cabinet member responsible for Equality and Inclusion states:

"In my role as Cabinet Member responsible for equality and inclusion, I am privileged to act as a champion for our staff networks.

One of the great benefits of working at Suffolk County Council is the range of staff networks on offer to both staff and councillors. These networks offer real, meaningful support to their members, hosting numerous activities and events and acting as fantastic conduits to create change within the organisation.

New members are always welcome, so I would encourage everyone to take a look at our Staff Networks and consider whether there is one for you."
