Equality and Diversity

These pages provide an overview of the work we are doing to ensure equality and diversity in both employment and service delivery.

You can view our new equalities booklet, entitled 'One and all', in the more information section on this page. It is an easy-to-read celebration of how we put our equality and diversity policies into action in Derbyshire.

Within the section you can view a range of policies and schemes relating to equality and diversity, including our planned Race Equality Scheme 2008-2010 (once adopted), Disability Equality Scheme 2006-2009 and our Gender Equality Scheme 2007-2010

The Impact Assessments link takes you to information about which of the council’s functions, policies, procedures and services, relevant to equality of opportunity, have been assessed. This assessment allows us to question whether what we do could have a discriminatory effect or different outcome for some people.

Our progress towards achieving the Equality Standard for Local Government is also featured under this section. We are currently at Level 2 and aiming to achieve Level 3 in 2008.
