Equality, diversity and inclusion

As an employer, the Council value difference and actively aim to attract and recruit colleagues from a diverse range of backgrounds for the value they can bring to the organisation. They work hard to support and encourage their colleagues to be the best they can be at work, providing them with an employment deal that is fair and inclusive, helping everyone to contribute to the ambitions of the Council.

Norfolk County Council is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation, and promoting good relations.

They value everyone in their diverse county, irrespective of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, gender identity, pregnancy, maternity, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), sexual orientation, religion, belief, or whether someone is married or in a civil partnership.

They also have a responsibility to ensure that organisations they commission, to provide services on their behalf, deliver the same approach.
