Our Gender Equality and Diversity Scheme was approved at the Policy and Resources Committee of 11th June 2007.

The scheme outlines the Council’s vision for:

preventing discrimination on the ground of gender or transgender
promoting equality of opportunity for women, men and transgender people
involving and consulting disabled people

A part of our scheme involved assessing our functions and policies for adverse impact on grounds of gender. The scheme includes an action plan for equality impact assessments.
