Equalities and the Care Council
The Care Council is committed to promoting equality and diversity and eliminating discrimination on the grounds of gender, marital status, social class, race, colour, ethnic origin, preferred language, religious belief, sexual orientation, age, disability, HIV status, family/domestic, responsibilities, offending background or any other individual characteristic which may limit a person’s opportunities in life.
We recognise that services must be relevant, responsive and sensitive, and that we must be fair and equitable in the provision of services to our customers, stakeholders and partners.
We work in a diverse community and understand the importance of achieving a diverse workforce. We aim to recruit, develop and retain people by valuing the varied skills and experiences they bring to the Care Council, by investing in their training and development, by treating staff fairly and equitably, by combating harassment and discrimination in the workplace, and by encouraging an honest and open culture which values the differences between people.
Our Equality and Diversity Strategy outlines our intentions to mainstream equalities into all of our service and policy development, implementation, and review processes. It also provides the framework for achieving this through, clear aims and objectives, specific equality schemes and a detailed action plan.
