Equality information and the Equality Duty

Each year we publish updated equality information and a revised Equality Duty.  

We are committed to:

• equality of opportunity in our approach to service delivery, employment and being a community leader
• identifying, understanding and eliminating all barriers that prevent access to services, information and employment
• eliminating all forms of discrimination

As a community leader and service provider, we believe that no person should be treated unfairly.
