Equality and diversity

Our commitment to equality is embraced within all of our policies and working practices, including recruitment.

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.
