Equality Policy
Equality and Diversity
The Suffolk Strategic Partnership and any group established under its auspices will strive to deliver all of its strategic aims and objectives with equality and without discrimination, recognising the diversity of the county and within national legislation. This will include following the legal duties as set out in the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, the Equality Act 2006, the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 and any other relevant emerging legislation.
We value all of the different people within Suffolk and we are committed to tackling inequality and exclusion. We recognise that some people can be disadvantaged and discriminated against and we will promote action to eliminate inequalities. The partnership will promote fair and equitable services and opportunities for the people of Suffolk irrespective of their age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or disability.
The Partnership supports the following definition from the national Equalities Review in 2007: “An equal society protects and promotes equal, real freedom and substantive opportunity to live in the ways people value and would choose, so that everyone can flourish. An equal society recognises people’s different needs, situations and goals, and removes the barriers that limit what people can do and can be”.
