We believe that the diversity of Peterborough is one of its
great strengths. We will use our powers as a large employer, major
service provider and a community leader to ensure that the
potential contribution of everyone who lives in the city and works
for us is maximised. Our aim is to eliminate discrimination
and unlawful practices through the integration of equality
principles in the areas of employment, service commissioning,
service provision and delivery.
Our Equal Opportunities policy provides a framework within which
all of our Members, employees, managers and trades unions can work
to ensure an integrated approach to equality. It aims to ensure
that no one is discriminated against because of their race,
religion or belief, culture, ethnic origin, nationality, age,
gender, sexual orientation, disability or marital status.
The Equality and Diversity policy has been updated as at
January 2011. We are also in the process of agreeing a
single equality scheme to replace previous schemes for
individual strands and preparing to meet the equality reporting
requirements introduced by the Equality Act 2010. Should you
need any further clarification on the content of this, please
contact 01733 747474.
As part of our commitment to improving equality of opportunity
we recognise the disadvantage experienced by disabled people. The
Two Ticks symbol recognises this and we guarantee to interview all
disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for jobs.
