These pages set out what we are doing to promote equality of opportunity and prevent unlawful discrimination and harassment.
The Council has continued to strengthen its commitment to the spirit of the Public Sector Equality Duty. Our Equality Policy, sets out what we will do to ensure that our residents and visitors are able to access and receive services, have employment opportunities and are able to take part in community life in a fair and equal way.
To achieve this, we will embed equality and diversity into everything we do. We will provide ongoing support and training for staff and councillors to ensure that equality issues are championed.
We will also ensure that new and future legislation such as the recently introduced Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) are actively upheld in:
Our Equality Objectives Plan shows how our aims will be translated into actions, including deadlines for targets, and names of officers responsible for putting these into practice.
We strive to encourage and develop the same spirit in others through effective partnerships. We will continue raising awareness of the important contribution many individuals and community groups make across Thanet in promoting the value of diversity in our community.
