We have published a
Generic Equality Scheme (PDF, 144KB) which states how the Council will improve its performance in relation to its duties under equalities legislation. This Scheme is overseen by the Corporate Equalities Working Group. The
action plan for this scheme for 2010 /11 (PDF, 45KB)has also been published. The Council's Generic Equality Scheme will be revised in light of the new Equality Act 2010.

If you would like to comment on any of our equalities work or would like to be consulted with when they are updated please let us know by completing our
Equality and Diversity Feedback Form (PDF, 8KB).
