Viewpoint has been working with the framework since 2014 and has previously achieved Stage 1 and Stage 2.

The achievement demonstrates Viewpoint’s outstanding commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and it is not awarded without a great deal of evidence being demonstrated to the centre’s assessor and verifier.

Viewpoint is one of the few organisations in Scotland to have achieved this.

Elizabeth Douglas, learning and development manager, said: “We are incredibly proud of this achievement and will continue to include equality, diversity and inclusion in our learning and development programmes and our corporate induction. We are determined to continue improving in this area and being a positive example to our stakeholders, customers and the wider community.”
