Equal opportunities in employment
We have equal opportunities policies to make sure that all our employees and potential employees are treated fairly.
Everyone will receive equal treatment regardless of age*, disability, HIV status, marital status, race, religion, sex, sexuality or national origin.
* Our policy is not to normally employ beyond the State Retirement Age.
Under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, all councils have a general duty to proactively promote and monitor race equality. Since 2000, procedures have been implemented to collect and monitor data by ethnicity on:
- Applications for employment
- employees leaving the council
- grievance/harassment
- disciplinary procedures.
