Eden District Council is committed to eliminating
discrimination and promoting equality in our policies and how we
deliver services. The Race Equality Scheme, along with the
Disability Equality Scheme and Gender Equality Scheme, are central
to our approach to ensuring that accessible and inclusive services
are delivered to all service users within the Eden District.
The Race Equality Scheme will evolve over time.
This is the second race equality scheme produced by the Council. We
will monitor progress with our partners and change the Scheme as we
need to, to ensure on going success. We aim to adopt an approach to
equality, which integrates our Race, Disability and Gender Schemes.
We are committed to securing equality of treatment and access in
all aspects of our services.
This Scheme sets out how we will meet the general
and specific duties to promote race equality as required by the
Race Relations Act 1976 and the Race Relations (Amendment) Act
(2000). See Race Equality Scheme
