Have an interest in equality and diversity? We want to hear from you!

The Council would like to establish a panel of residents to support its work on promoting equality and diversity as an employer and when delivering its services.

We would like to hear from residents who have an interest in promoting equality and diversity or are affected by issues relating to equality such as disability, age, race or any of the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010.

The purpose of the “Equality and Diversity group” would be for the Council and panel members to engage regularly on equality issues to help improve and shape council services by reviewing relevant policies and procedures and seeking panel views and perceptions.

We anticipate the group will meet 3 to 4 times a year at the Council offices at Mill Lane, Wingerworth. We will provide financial support with travel expenses and provide a light buffet.

To express an interest in joining such a group or to ask any questions please do not hesitate to contact Amar Bashir (Improvement Officer) Telephone 01246 217047 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
