Equality Strategy
Our new
Equality Strategy, launched in April 2007, incorporates our
disability, gender and race equality schemes, and focuses primarily
on these three areas. It spells out what disability, gender and
race equality mean for those who live, work in and visit Kent, and
the priorities to be tackled in each area. It also deals with
community cohesion and the cross-cutting issues of age, faith, and
sexual orientation.
Equality impact assessments
Equality impact assessments are an essential part of making
sure our services are focused on the needs of everyone using our
services or employed by us. |
