Equality and diversity hub

Building a better union

Equality and diversity matter to us as a union. We believe that our members should be treated fairly, with respect and with the opportunities and support to get on at work.

At Prospect, we’re working to increase diversity, to challenge racism, to tackle prejudice and all forms of discrimination, and to make work a better, safer place for everyone.

If you are a Prospect member, you can join one of our networks (login required).

Download our members’ guide to equality at work for advice on legal rights around equal opportunities in the workplace.
