Equality and Diversity

  

We believe in equality of treatment and fairness to people, and make sure we demonstrate this in our practice as an employer and service provider.  Whether you use our services, or we employ you (and this goes for treatment at interview too), you will be treated equally and fairly.  We believe it is your right to be treated the same as anyone else, regardless of your:

Even beyond that, as a County Council, we seek to create an environment in which services and employment are provided without fear of discrimination.

In employment, the County Council is committed to achieving and maintaining a workforce which broadly reflects the local labour market.  We recognise that by drawing on all sections of the labour market we will have access to the widest possible pool of talent.
