Making everywhere in Amber Valley a great place to live
Our ambition is to make everywhere in Amber Valley a great place
to live. Central to achieving this vision is supporting equal life
chances and addressing the inequalities and barriers within and
between Amber Valley communities.
Our Equality and Diversity Policy Commitment sets
out how we are making a difference for Amber Valley. The
Council takes the opportunity each year to review what it has
achieved and highlights these achievements in its Annual Report. Annual reports are also
produced for Licensing,
Standards Board and
Improvement and Scrutiny Committee.
Our Corporate Improvement Plan 2012-15 identifies 9 priorities,
one of which is to:
"Ensure equality and diversity is at the heart of decision
making at all levels within the Council and is embedded in service
delivery."
We will achieve this by:
- Making sure Council services are accessible to customers and do
not discriminate on any unjustifiable grounds
- Improving the data the Council has about its local communities,
employees and customers and using this data to inform decision
making and improve services
- Fostering a working environment where equality and diversity
are valued and where all Council employees and potential employees
are treated fairly and have equal access to available
opportunities
- Delivering on the Council's commitment to meet the Public
Sector Equality Duty.
The actions we need to deliver this priority are set out in part
2 of the Corporate Improvement Plan which is currently being put
together.
We have also reviewed how we are meeting the Public Sector
Equality Duty and this is set out in the two reports below which
cover 2012 and were published on 31st January 2013.

Equality Impact Assessments
Equality Impact Assessments are also key tools in helping us
meet the Public Sector Equality Duty. Carrying out an Equality
Impact Assessment helps us find out whether an existing or proposed
service/policy/activity has a negative or positive impact on
different groups within the community and what we need to do to
address any negative impacts.

out:
