Equal opportunities information
The Council has adopted a Single Equality Scheme Opens in a new window (SES).
The SES covers legislation relating to race, gender, disability age, religion or belief and sexual orientation
The scheme sets out the Council's commitment to the promotion of equal opportunities for our staff and our community. We believe that equality and diversity is central to all our services. Our commitment is firmly embedded in our business planning processes such as the Authority's Corporate Plan and Business Plans.
To meet the expectations of our community we recognise the need to work with a wide range of partners. The Council has led the development of the Hambleton Strategic Partnership which has created its own vision for the district. This is:
"A Hambleton of sustainable, safe, healthy and prosperous communities where people feel part of their community and work together to improve quality of life for all and participate in decisions that affect them, which is welcoming, values diversity and supports the disadvantaged."
Following on from this we have developed the following aim:
"Hambleton District Council, in its role as Community Leader, believes that equal opportunities should be placed at the heart of its service provision. The Council is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity. It will take positive action to ensure its workforce is representative of the community it serves and that its services are accessible to all its citizens."
