Education and Childrens Services Inclusion and Equality
"Being Inclusive means taking action to build a fair and equal society".
Everyone has a resonsibility to promote equality and implement inclusive practices, and to ensure that all legislative duties are fully implemented without
discrimination.
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 identified need.
This is part of the rationale established in the ECS
Inclusion and Equality Policy Statement [pdf 315KB] which also promotes the values of:
- Openness, honesty and integrity
- Fairness, understanding and compassion
- Mutual trust, tolerance and respect
Within ECS an Equalities Working Group has been established to take the Equalities agenda forward.
