Examples of testimonials
Clive came to work in Lancashire Care to make a difference and drive a community development approach
to equality and diversity. He is a charismatic, influential leader. He has worked closely with a diverse range
of staff groups and working at grass roots level is just as important to him as working strategically. I have
always been really supportive of his basic approach for dignity and respect for each individual and this fits
so well with our Trust values and compassionate care.
Clive has been proactive and provided leadership to develop a meaningful strategy reflecting the national
policy. Implementing policy has been a real focus for Clive delivering key pieces of work which were
previously absent for example Equality Strategies and action plans, networks of clinical and non-clinical
staff taking responsibility for E and D locally, Interpreter and Translation policy helping to improve access
to services for those who don’t have a good command of English or are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, A
procedure to support staff who may be going through gender transition whilst still wanting to continue
working. More recently Clive has led on the embedding of the NHS Equality Delivery System and in
November 2013 the Trust received the grading of ‘Excellent’ for three outcomes around staffing and
leadership.

5. The positive contribution and support from Clive Taylor in helping Lancashire Constabulary around Equality
and Diversity issues has been invaluable. His knowledge, especially with regard to LGB&T issues, has
helped us to make real progress. He has also been a ‘critical friend’ to the Constabulary and to me
personally by always being willing to give good advice and support in a constructive and meaningful way.

Working with Clive has been an experience of learning and development that has improved my own
awareness. Clive is knowledgeable, approachable and an advocate of developing opportunities and best
working practices to benefit communities that are at a disadvantage because of their ethnicity, orientation
or background.
As an individual Clive is professional to the highest degree and welcomes participation and working in
innovative ways. My experience of working with Clive has been both enjoyable and complimentary to my
expanding knowledge of working with minority communities and he is an asset to any organisation that
chooses to work with him.
