All council service areas are very aware of the need to ensure equality of access to all and to avoid discrimination.

Because of this, housing has developed a comprehensive Equalities Action Plan, which will enable us and our stakeholders to keep an eye on progress. The action plan includes targets and commitments about:

• Dealing with harassment
• Equalities training for staff
• Resources for interpreting and translating services
• Consultation
• Monitoring take-up of services
• Fairness in recruitment and employment
• Working with partners and contractors

The Equalities Action Plan is available as a downloadable pdf:

Housing and Social Care Equalities Action Plan 2006
