Equalities Scheme 2010-2013

Haringey Council’s Equalities Scheme 2010-2013 ensures that we meet our equalities public sector duties by setting out a structure that will enable us to address known inequalities and disadvantage and, where possible, pre-empt and avoid new inequalities and disadvantage from developing.

We do not deliver equality of opportunity as a separate programme of work within Haringey, and we have intentionally embedded equalities principles in our strategies and delivery plans across and throughout the Council.

Our Equalities Scheme has adopted the Sustainable Community Strategy vision to help us ensure that there is equality of opportunity throughout the borough:

“A place of diverse communities that people are proud to belong to”

We have identified one overarching outcome and three priorities to help us deliver this vision:

Outcome: Fair treatment and equality of opportunity

Priorities within this outcome:

1. To promote equality through strategic planning
2. To promote equality through commissioning and procurement
3. To promote equalities in employment so that everyone has equal access to employment and opportunity in the Council and is fairly treated while working for the Council

Haringey Council is committed to:

• Tackling discrimination on any grounds;
• Addressing inequality where there are shown to exist;
• Actively promoting equality of opportunity for all who live, work or play in Haringey, whatever their age, disability, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion or belief.
