Equality and Diversity

Achieving equality and valuing diversity in West Berkshire

We think that everyone deserves to live in a community where people get along with each other, where no-one feels excluded and where everyone has a chance to play a full part in local life.

Our Icon for pdf equality objectives [63KB]  set out the areas of our work where we are focusing our efforts to achieve this.

We review these areas annually. Icon for pdf View the Equality Objectives Annual Report 2016-17 [592KB]
 

Equity Impact Assessments

It is advised that the completion of a West Berkshire Council Equity Impact Assessment is considered at the earliest stage of developing a policy, project or programme. This is so that evidence gathering can be integrated into project planning and ensure that there is a robust evidence base for decision-making. We also suggest periodic review and amendment to ensure that the assessment remains comprehensive, up-to-date and reflects changes as they occur.

Equality Policy

The Icon for pdf Equality Policy [254KB]   sets out our vision and commitment to equality of opportunity and respect for diversity. This is part of our role as a provider of services to the people who live, work and visit West Berkshire, as a significant employer in the local economy and in our community leadership role.
