Race Equality Scheme - currently under consultation

Mid Suffolk District Council aims to provide high quality services, to all residents, who live within the district. We are conscious of the importance of race equality as a service provider and employer, and in the civic leadership we provide. 

We are fully committed to fulfilling our statutory duties, under the race equality legislation and this Race Equality Scheme sets out the Council’s current position and future arrangements for meeting the general, and specific duties, in respect of race equality. 

If you would like to comment on this scheme, please send your comments to Breige Convery (contact details above) by Friday 4 September 2009.
