On 4th December 2006, we launched our Disability Equality Scheme
for 2006-09. This is the start of a rolling programme of real and
significant changes that we must achieve with disabled people. Our
brand image above sets out our values and principles relating to
disability.
Involving disabled people leading to action in service
delivery and staff care
Our Disability Equality Scheme sets out our commitments and the
action we will take. We will not accept any form of discrimination,
harassment or bullying, and will take every opportunity to promote
disability equality. It will require a cultural change in the way
that the organisation and its employees work to address the needs
and aspirations of disabled people, both service users and
staff.
See further down the page for our Disability
Equality Scheme 2006-09 and reports from our first
Disability Involvement Day in November
2006.
Over the next few months each part of the council will
contribute to the Scheme, publishing Disability Action Plans
setting out work areas over the next year.
