Equality and diversity


We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity in relation to our services.


We do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, disability, nationality, gender, sexuality, age, class, appearance, religious or philosophical belief, responsibility for dependants, unrelated criminal activities, being HIV positive or with AIDS, or any other matter which causes a person to be treated with injustice.


We also value people for who they are, not what they are. This means we will:

  • Recognise and respect the differences between people
  • Provide appropriate services that match differing needs and preferences
  • Promote understanding between people who have different backgrounds and experiences
