Equal Opportunities Policy

Haringey's Equal Opportunities Policy demonstrates the Council’s commitment to promoting equality of opportunity for everyone in Haringey.

In the Spring of 2012 the Council updated its policy to reflect the changes made by the government in the Equality Act 2010. The new policy also shows how we will meet our Public Sector Equality Duty to:

• Eliminate discrimination
• Advance equality of opportunity between different groups
• Foster good relations between groups in Haringey

The Policy covers:

• Haringey residents
• Visitors to Haringey
• Council staff
• Anyone who uses Council services

The Council will work towards the aims of this Policy through the delivery of a set of equality objectives agreed every four years in consultation with local people. A list of all the equality objectives can found in Appendix A in the Equal Opportunities Policy Documents section below. The key objectives are based around addressing any inequality in the:

• Provision of services (across employment, housing, education, health and crime)
• Employment of staff
• Procurement and commissioning processes

Local residents and other stakeholders were consulted on the Policy and equality objectives and the policy was agreed at Cabinet on Tuesday 20 March 2012.
