Equality and Diversity

There have been important and exciting changes in equalities legislation since 2010. These pages explain how they affect you. The Council uses its position as community leader to uphold the principles of the Public Sector Equality Duty:

• in the services we provide
• the opportunities we create
• the decisions we make

We strive to encourage and develop the same sprit in others through effective partnerships and raising awareness of the important contribution many individuals and community groups continue to make across Thanet in promoting the value of diversity in our community.

We believe the Council must take a leading role in shaping a community in which our people can flourish.
