Equal Opportunities & Diversity
Torbay Council provides services and employment opportunities to the community and recognises that the needs and aspirations of its community must come first.
Throughout its work, the Council is committed to being inclusive - valuing and reflecting the full diversity of the community it serves. It will believe and communicate that:
- Everyone has the right to be included
- Everyone has the right to be treated fairly
- Everyone has the right to equality of access
Equalities Lead: Ian Knee (Chair) - Corporate Executive Head
Member Champion for Equality & Diversity: Cllr Louisa Aiton
Inclusion Charter
Torbay Council will enable all to have fair access to, and enjoy, high quality services which will enrich their lives and help realise their full potential.
In order to do this, the Council and its partners will work to:-
- Promote equality, inclusion and good relations
- Reduce disadvantage and poverty
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination
At all levels of planning and service provision, the Council will consider all in the community whatever their race/ethnicity, religion and beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, language, political or other opinions, or socio-economic status.
In Torbay, we have identified the following as our priorities:
- Children in need
- People with disabilities
- Those at risk of exclusion (including: people from minority ethnic communities; gypsies and travellers; gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and trans- people; those whose first language is not English; minority religious communities)
- Those at risk of offending
- Those living in poverty
- Those who are 'looked after' by being in the care of the Council
- Those who are transient (those new to, or in, the area for a short time)
- Young parents
- Young people who are the carers for others in their family
