16/12/2021 - Diversity and Inclusion - Principles, Objectives and Action Plan

“The County Council has an important role to play in promoting diversity and inclusion, both as an employer and as a leader in the community.  It is important for our progress to be measured publicly and for us to remain proactive in ensuring that we continue moving forward and challenging prejudice in whatever form it takes.

 

I want those who work for the County Council, those who come into contact with it and for the wider population of Staffordshire to know that this authority is committed to equal treatment and opportunity for all”.

 

Cllr Alan White, Leader of the Council

 

Reasons for the Decision – To consider the outcome of recent work to identify how the Council can further strengthen its commitment to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across the Council and Staffordshire, together with proposals for the adoption of a set of Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion Principles and Objectives.

 

Decision – That the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Principles, Objectives and Action Plan, as part of the Council’s commitment to promote equality, diversity and inclusion, be adopted.
