Equality Schemes & Impact Assessments

The Council has adopted a number of equality schemes designed to ensure equal treatment and opportunities for the people of the Vale, in both service delivery and employment. We also assess the equality impact of our major policies and practices.

These schemes cover the areas of race, disability and gender, and have been developed in consultation with service users, employees and senior managers.

Disability Equality Scheme annual progress report 2008-2009

The Council is in the process of preparing this document. A meeting of the Council’s Equalities Consultative Forum will be taking place in December in order to review progress with the Scheme.

It is therefore anticipated that the Annual Progress Report will be available on this page by Monday January 19^th at the latest.

In the meantime for any further information please contact the Equalities team.
