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, culture, ethnic origin, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or marital status.

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.
