Equality Scheme and Disability Equality Statement

We have produced our Equality Public Duties Scheme to guide our work on Equal Opportunities over the next 3 years (see attached files section below for a copy).

The Scheme brings the general and the specific duties around the six equalities strands, age, disability, gender, race, religion/faith and sexuality under one framework.

The key features of the Scheme are:

• Equalities Impact Assessment;
• Consultation and community involvement;
• Equalities monitoring and making improvements;
• Equal access to information;
• Publishing/Disseminating information;
• Staff induction and training;
• Tackling harassment and hate crime;
• Tackling prejudice/promoting positive attitudes;
• Promoting good relations and social cohesion;
• Using procurement to advance equality.

The council expects that the scheme will be implemented in a planned way, using the council’s business planning and performance management frameworks as the mechanisms for doing so.

We have produced the following documents

• Equalities Scheme
• Summary of Equalities Scheme
• Disability Equality Statement
• Summary of Disability Equality Statement

(see attached files section below for a copy).

We have been consulting extensively on the Equality Scheme and on the Disability Equality Statement since October 2006.
