Cheshire East Council is consulting on its draft Equality Objectives, as part of its Public Sector Equality Duty and commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). A refreshed draft EDI Strategy for 2020-2024 will support the delivery of these objectives and build on the work of the previous Equality and Diversity Strategy of 2017- 2020.
The vision is to make Cheshire East a welcoming place, where equality, freedom, fairness and opportunity are open to all. The Council want everyone to feel valued, to celebrate diversity and to understand people’s different needs and aspirations whether they are living, visiting or working here.
The four draft strategy objectives are:
- Include – listen and involve all voices;
- Inspire – celebrate and promote diversity and the positive opportunities it brings;
- Integrate – deliver and promote accessible services for all; and
- Inform – empower people to respectfully challenge discriminatory and poor behaviour
The Council now want your views on the draft objectives and would like to hear if they are relevant and understandable for the residents of Cheshire East.
The consultation closes at 5pm on 31 July 2020.
