A local equality charity are launching a new diversity in the workplace scheme in Jersey.

The scheme called DIFERA (diversity, inclusion, fairness, equality, respect and acceptance) is the first of its kind to be launched in the Channel Islands.

The equality and diversity charity, Liberate, hope it can help island employers make minority groups feel welcome in the office.

The DIFERA scheme aims to assist organisations with implementing or improving their diversity and inclusion programs.

It's set to be rolled out in Guernsey later in the year.
