The Housing and Community Services Cluster has produced
an Equality and Diversity Strategy, which sets out plans to
meet its statutory and local responsibilities around equalities and
diversity. The document gives standards and targets for service and
workforce improvements for the following Service Areas:
- Adult Social Services
- The Crime Reduction Group
- Housing Services
- Payments and Benefits
- Culture, Sport and Community Learning Services
The Strategy will be subject to regular consultative
reviews with staff, service users and stakeholders, to ensure that
it continues to meet the changing needs of all those who will be
affected by its implementation.
A summary of the Strategy in Bengali, English, French,
Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Somali and Urdu is also available as well
as in plain language with illustrations. All these documents can be
found below.
A report which presents an update on some of the outcomes
achieved by Adult Social Services since the Annual Review Meeting
in June 2006 can be found below:
