The Workplace Equality Index is Britain's leading tool for employers to measure their efforts to tackle discrimination and create inclusive workplaces for lesbian, gay and bisexual employees.

Employers must demonstrate tackling anti-gay bullying and harassment and supporting the career development of LGB employees.

The service's evidence included gay-friendly policies and procedures, an LGB employee network and equality training for all employees.

It also has LGB champions.

Lee Howell, Chief Fire Officer, said: "I'm thrilled about this tremendous achievement."
