"It is so important for our employees to be themselves at work without the burden of having to hide part of their personality. It is my belief that the culture inside our force is critical in how we treat the public too, so while we continue our inclusivity work internally, this will reflect positively on our work externally.

"We are extremely proud and thankful to our staff and colleagues who are so dedicated.”

The list ranks employers from across public, private and third sectors on how LGBT-inclusive their workplaces are.
