Equality First Event

We as a council are looking to actively promote, support nurture and encourage equality and diversity for businesses within our district.

Workforces should be inclusive and provide opportunities for all in terms of race, religion, gender, age, orientation and even, education.

It is key that employers promote a culture of inclusion where diversity is embraced and equality is provided in order for individuals and workforces to reach their true potentials which ultimately increases business productivity and success.
