The Council works to maintain a robust approach to equality and diversity issues which supports us in complying with the Equality Act 2010. The Act requires public bodies to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between different people when carrying out their activities.

As a public sector body, the Council has a duty to comply with the specific Public Sector Equality Duty that requires the publication of relevant and proportionate information to demonstrate how we are responding to the Equality Duty.
