Our Equality Strategy outlines how we will continually improve our service by ensuring that equality is at the centre of everything we do and by bringing improvement to people who experience discrimination and disadvantage.

We have three equality outcomes that we want to achieve. This document is one of three linked documents that explain our approach. The other two documents are our Equality Strategy and our Mainstreaming Equality Progress Report. Our equality outcomes describe the changes we want to make to meet our equality duties and show that, as an employer and service provider, our values of dignity, fairness and respect are clear in everything we do.
