Equal Opportunities Policy Statement

Throughout its work, Haringey Council is committed to reflecting the full diversity of the community it serves and to promoting equality of opportunity for everyone. We accept that the Council is not free of unintended institutional discrimination. We will work to eradicate it.

We aim to ensure equal access to our services by all citizens on the basis of need and to provide services in a manner that is sensitive to the individual whatever their background. We will represent the needs of our diverse communities to other agencies and make equal opportunities a key guiding principle in all of our work with our partners. We will ensure that our workforce reflects the community it serves. We will take positive action to realise our equality of opportunity policy.

We are committed to eliminating discrimination on the grounds of:

• Age
• Disability
• Colour, ethnic origin, nationality, national origin or race
• Gender
• HIV status
• Marital status
• Religion or belief
• Responsibility for dependants
• Sexual orientation
• Unrelated criminal convictions

It is the responsibility of every employee of the council to uphold and implement the policy.

It is the responsibility of each individual manager, at all levels, to plan and provide their services to realise this policy.
