Racism does not have a place in our organisation. We will challenge poor behaviour, eradicate, and challenge incidents of discrimination, victimisation or harassment based on a person’s ethnicity. Read our anti-racism statement.
We are also working to reduce racial inequalities in mental health services, as part of NHS England's patient and carer race equality framework (PCREF).
Patient carer race equality framework
The patient and carer race equality framework (PCREF) is an NHS England initiative designed to reduce racial inequalities in mental health services, by helping organisation review and improve how they support patients and carers from diverse communities.
We will share more information here about our progress and opportunities to get involved or give feedback.
Greater Manchester No Space for Racism campaign
We are taking a stand against racism, alongside Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership.
The partnership has launched a new No Space for Racism campaign, bringing together the NHS, councils, and community organisations, working as one team to support staff.
Racism has no place in health and care and staff should never feel alone.
The No Space for Racism campaign website has more information about how to report racism, why reporting matters, and how to be an active bystander.
Respect campaign
In March 2026, we also launched a new Respect campaign to promote a culture of kindness, safety and mutual respect across all our services.
You will notice materials displayed across Pennine Care sites, including inpatient wards, community services, reception areas and staff spaces.
