Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Winchester City Council aims to embed the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in everything that they do.

They are committed to meeting the needs and expectations of the diverse community they serve and believe that equality is central to the provision of quality services.

Winchester City Council is committed to the promotion of equal opportunities in its role as an employer and in its role as a Local Authority responsible for the provision of services within the community.

Accordingly, the Council has committed itself to developing positive policies to facilitate the employment of people with disabilities and to the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of being or becoming a transexual person, race or ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, sex, marital status and being pregnant or on maternity leave, in its actions as an employer and in the delivery of the services for which it is responsible.

It will encourage those organisations financially supported or contracted to deliver council services to do likewise.
