Diversity

Diversity is about valuing people as individuals and harnessing differences and potential - meeting needs creatively. Diversity is organisationally driven - the work we undertake to achieve equality outcomes.

Our policy statement:

"We each have our own unique needs, skills qualities and abilities. The council believes this diversity must be valued. We want to make sure our services meet everyone's needs. We will not unfairly discriminate on any grounds....."

In 2011 we were the first council to achieve the National Centre for Diversity Award. In 2011/2012 our diversity priorities include:

• A review of our activity on diversity including our Corporate Diversity Plan to ensure the council's focus:
  • Continues to meet local needs
  • Meets the new requirements of the Equality Act 2010
• Improved community engagement and involvement
• Reducing inequalities
