Equalities and Diversity

As a service provider we will show commitment to ensuring that nobody receiving council services is treated less favourably because of their race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, faith, age or political opinion.

As an employer we will show commitment to providing equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination for our employees. These are fundamental rights and we have a duty to promote these rights.

We realise that we cannot progress work on equalities across all our services on our own. Equalities is for everybody. Staff, partners and members of the community need to be involved so that everybody can benefit from services we provide to a diverse society.
