Equality Scheme & Action Plan
Our first
combined equality scheme ended on 31 March 2009, and our second one
started on 1 April 2009.
To make sure that our vision and actions are what our
communities need, we started work on our new scheme with two
community events. This shaped the draft document that we then asked
the public to review and enhance, so that the final document, which
was adopted by the full Council on 6 March, really reflects what
you want and not what we think you want.
The new scheme will help us to:
- Meet the requirements of the various equality duties.
- Show you our plans to improve access to our services.
- Make sure that we are taking the needs and views of all our
customers into account when we design or deliver services.
- Continuously monitor and improve the ways in which we deliver
services.
Equality Scheme 2009-2012
2006-2009
The 2006-9 scheme set out our overall objectives for improving
and addressing inequalities, and the action plans showed how we
inteded to be delivering improvements in access to our services.
This scheme has now been reviewed and the draft outcomes as at
31st March 2009 can be seen in the action plan.
