Equality and Diversity
Peterborough City Council's commitment to equality is embraced within all of its policies and working practices.
We believe that the diversity of Peterborough is one of its great strengths. We will use the City Council's powers as a large employer, major service provider and a community leader to ensure that the potential contribution of everyone who lives in the city and works for the City Council is maximised.
Our aim is to eliminate discrimination and unlawful practices through the integration of equality principles in the areas of employment, service commissioning, service provision and delivery.
Our Equal Opportunities policy provides a framework within which all of our Members, employees, managers and trades unions can work to ensure an integrated approach to equality. It aims to ensure that no one is discriminated against because of their race, religion, culture, ethnic origin, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or marital status.
