People > Equality & Fairness

It is a fundamental principle of our policies that all people are equally valued regardless of their gender, age, disabilities, race, ethnic origin, language, religion or sexual orientation.

We are, therefore, committed to promote equality of opportunity by:

• ensuring that services are equally accessible and relevant to the needs of different user groups; and 
• the use of appropriate recruitment and employment practices and procedures.

We will use our influence to promote understanding and harmony between people.

We will work with other agencies and organisations in seeking to eliminate discrimination, harassment and attacks on any group or individual.

We will monitor the effectiveness of what we do in these areas and continuously seek to improve our performance.
