Genuine equality of opportunity requires a society in which we are not excluded from the activities of that society because of our race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, religion/belief or age.
Promoting diversity is about respecting and valuing the differences in others. Diversity can bring strength to communities and by harnessing differences we can share a vision to make North East Lincolnshire a place in which we are proud to live, work and welcome visitors.
We are committed to;
- ensuring equality of treatment for everyone in connection with service delivery, recruitment and employment.
- the broad principles of social justice, being opposed to any form of discrimination or oppression and accepting all its legal responsibilities in these respects.
- treating equally everyone with whom our representatives come into contact including current and potential service users, employees, Members and job applicants.
- ensuring that no-one is treated in any way less favourably on the grounds of race, colour, national or ethnic or social origin, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability or political/other personal beliefs and;
- implementing all necessary actions and training to ensure our commitments with regard to equality of treatment are fulfilled and monitoring and reviewing progress on a six monthly basis.
