Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Tackling inequality so no one is left behind is our guiding principle. We commit to being a fair, compassionate and inclusive Council that genuinely values difference and makes everyone feel safe and they belong. We will be open and transparent with residents and staff on our intentions and will take responsibility to achieve them.
All residents should have the same chances for a high quality of life and feel they belong in their communities. We will champion our most vulnerable residents, including those who may suffer from prejudice or discrimination because of who they are or their circumstances.
We are committed to supporting all Members and staff to feel they belong at the Council and have opportunities to succeed. We will work with staff to identify and remove barriers that get in the way of inclusivity and diversity.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, discrimination and harassment. Members and employees are expected to behave in ways that help us support residents, partners and Council colleagues. We will hold Members and staff to the high standards required, dealing decisively with instances of discrimination.
