Inclusion and Equality
Being inclusive means taking action to build a fair and
equal society.
This policy statement takes forward Education & Children's
Services vision of
inclusion and equality [PDF: 10Kb] which is inherent in
all policies, procedures and practices and which promotes the
values of:
-
openness, honesty and integrity
-
fairness, understanding and compassion
-
mutual trust, tolerance and respect
Everyone has the responsibility to promote equality and
implement inclusive practices, and to ensure that all legislative
duties are fully implemented.
Being inclusive means thinking and planning to take account of the
circumstances of individuals, groups and communities in relation to
the opportunities they should expect to participate in. This
applies to the universal services as well as services and resources
that may be targeted according to the identified need.
We have developed our
Inclusion and Equality Policy Statement [PDF: 323Kb] and policy
documents (which are available from the downloads on this page) to
enhance Inclusion and Equality throughout our Service.
