Craven District Council’s Commitment to Equality and Diversity

People living in, working in or visiting Craven all have individual needs and expectations. The Council takes its responsibilities seriously to ensure that as community leader, service provider and employer it meets those needs and expectations in a way that promotes equality of opportunity and fair access.

The Council is committed to providing fair access to its services for all, and as an employer, achieving equality of opportunity in its recruitment and people management process.  It is committed to making Craven a cohesive and inclusive community.

'Craven Pride' is the Council's Corporate Equality Scheme. It aims to put equalities and fair access to services at the centre of service delivery and employment practice.

The document incorporates the Council's Equality Policy, and the Equality Schemes for Disability, Gender and Race.  It includes an action plan to tell people what we intend to do over the next 3 years to deliver our Equality Scheme.
