Equality and Diversity Strategy

Focus

The Strategy is designed to ensure that equality and diversity are considered every day in the areas of service delivery and employment. In particular the Strategy will focus on:

Service delivery

The Strategy will set out ways for the Authority to identify and remove any discriminatory barriers that prevent equal access to our services, and monitor the progress that we make.

Employment

The Authority aims to ensure that as far as possible opportunities for employment are available to all and that the workforce is representative of the local community.

Policy consultation

The Strategy will lead to the development of stronger consultation and monitoring processes to ensure real progress is made in ensuring everyone has an opportunity to make their views known, if they wish. This consultation will involve employees, members and local communities.
