The council’s previous Equality Policy expired in January 2020, and this new policy is designed to run from 2020-2023.  It is a key decision because it is significant in its impact on the community.

The policy sets out our commitment to equality and details some of the main initiatives that we already undertake, and some actions to which we are committing.  Its audience will be both internal (members of staff) and external (public). It will be published on our website and on our intranet.  An internal communication will promote it to staff.
