Equality and diversity
Our vision for equality and diversity is of the Council
representing, serving and employing people as equals, valuing the
diversity of their contributions and aspirations, no matter who
they are or what their circumstances.
We believe that all citizens have a right to equal access to
life opportunities, including representation, services and
employment by the Council. This right places responsibilities on us
all that we must carry out.
We will promote equal opportunity and good community relations
respecting and valuing the diversity of people in the Borough. Our
public statements, services and employment practices will reflect
this commitment.
We will promote this policy and expect respect for it from
citizens, users of council services, partner agencies, Councillors,
council employees and our contractors.
