Gender Equality Scheme 2010-2013
Under the 2006 Equality Act, we have a duty to produce a Gender
Equality Scheme. This Draft Gender Equality Scheme 2010-2013
is based on the best evidence available, was developed in
consultation with our partners, residents and staff to elicit the
broadest possible views and influence. It sets out how we will:
- Ensure that people are not discriminated against, directly or
indirectly, or experience harassment as a result of their
gender;
- Promote equal opportunities for people regardless of gender in
the delivery of our services, employment of our staff, our
procurement function as well as our work in partnership.
To view the scheme, select from the list below:

Race Equality Scheme - currently being reviewed
Mid Suffolk District Council has been working
extensively over the past year, with partners and stakeholders,
reviewing and updating our equality schemes fro disability, gender
and race.
Having gathered evidence from a wide range of sources we have
identified potential race equality objectives for the next
scheme. We have been consulting with staff and looking at
community consultation to establish race equality objectives prior
to developing our action plan.
The review of race equality work to date shows that significant
progress has been made in a number of areas: equality impact
assessment, training and awareness raising, equality mapping and
equality monitoring included.
We will shortly be consulting on our objectives with you.
Please visit back here to take part in the consultation or look on
our homepage during September.
