Equality, diversity and inclusion

We're committed to ensuring fairness in decision making and the way in which services are commissioned and delivered, and we make sure our practices follow the best standards.

Protected characteristics

Having a protected characteristic means you have a right not to be treated less favourably, or subjected to an unfair disadvantage, because of that characteristic.

Employee networks and communities

Our networks and communities are there to support you, connect you and help influence change at the council. Join as many as you wish and take time out to attend meetings and events.

Prevent Duty

​​Prevent is a national safeguarding programme that supports people who are at risk of becoming involved with terrorism through radicalisation.
