Equality and diversity are important to us and we are fully committed to delivering our services and employing staff in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. In doing this, we will have due regard to the need to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share protected characteristics with those who do not.
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
In doing this, due regard for advancing equality means:
- Removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by people with protected characteristics.
- Taking steps to meet the needs of people from protected groups where these are different from the needs of other people.
- Encouraging people from a protected group to partake in public life or in other activities where participation is low.
Our own corporate values support equality and diversity.
Our policies and procedures also reflect our commitment to equality and diversity.
To ensure that we deliver against the Equality Act and our corporate values, the Diversity Lead provides updates to senior management. They consider evidence of engagement with people, staff, service users and others to evaluate the effect of what we do on the whole community.
